A spokesman has said that no further injuries have been reported and no children were in the area at the time of the crash.
A forensics team are now on the scene and are taking photographic evidence.
Pictures taken at the scene show a large hole in a wall with bricks and debris covering the floor.
Children's art work can be seen stuck to the windows, one of which is broken off, next to the wall that the car crashed through.
It has been reported that the room the car crashed into is used as the 'nursery room' for two to three year old children.
Video footage posted to X shows five police vehicles, an ambulance and a fire engine all outside the school.
