Ellison works closely with all nurseries in the local area, and works in particularly close partnership with Oaklands nursery. 

Oaklands are one of the last two remaining standalone Local Authority Maintained Nursery Schools in Staffordshire. They work closely with The Societas Trust as an associate partner, which is comprised of eight primary settings in North Staffordshire, including Ellison Primary Academy. They provide education for children aged two to five years with a caring, passionate and experienced staff team.

At Oaklands,  children are at the heart of all they do, providing a truly child centred, creative and holistic approach to early years education.  Their approach nurtures and empowers children to be curious, make their own choices and become confident and resilient individuals. Through this approach, they aspire to foster a lifelong love of learning. Staff are exceptionally skilled at knowing each child’s interests, needs and next steps. The partnership with the Trust makes a positive difference to leaders, staff and children due to the enhanced range of opportunities, training and support provided.
