A school in Mapperley has launched a consultation over plans to take children as young as three.
Westdale Infant School currently takes children from five years old, but wants to start admitting children from three years old and open a nursery class.
The Governing Body of Westdale Infant School has now opened up a consultation over proposals.
A spokesman for the school said: “This proposal will allow us to meet the needs of our local community in relation to early year’s education and will ensure a consistent setting and approach to learning for our youngest children.
“Following the dissolution of Westdale Pre-School, a voluntary and charitable body, we want to ensure our community and children still have access to a secure, stimulating and high quality early years nursery setting.
“Westdale Pre School has built up an outstanding provision and has shared good relationships with the school to support smooth and successful transition into school. With the imminent closure of Pre School we feel that the time is right to deliver this provision ourselves.”
