Welcome to the Reading Early Years Schools (REYS) Federation Website.  Whilst our federation of maintained nursery schools is very new, formed only in 2020, our nursery schools are well established in the Reading area, located in the heart of the North and South Reading communities, educating generations of families.

Nursery schools are different because they are maintained by the local authority and are governed, inspected and run like schools.  They employ qualified teachers and head teachers and are supported by highly skilled Early Years practitioners and Nurture Assistants. We are proud of our nursery schools and it is a great honour to nurture local children and watch them learning and growing.
