Nursery

Welcome to our special Nursery where through play, talk and first hand experiences we offer each child the opportunity to learn, develop and grow in a happy, secure and exciting environment with the help of trained and experienced staff. 

If you would like to find out more about us, then read our New to Nursery booklet by clicking here.

Our Nursery teachers are Claire and Emma. Charlotte, Ana, Sue, Louise and Vanda are our keypeople and helpers.

We know that the early years are special years and our emphasis at this stage is learning through play, both indoors and outdoors. Our role is to share the joy and wonder of the world around us and to encourage the enjoyment that discovery brings.

Our nursery is open for two 3 hour sessions each day, where the children can come to either a morning or an afternoon session. We also offer an optional lunch club in between sessions which lasts for 45 minutes and additional activities are planned.

We have a well resourced large, light classroom space which is divided into different areas to explore and discover.
We have areas for writing, drawing and mark making, reading, sticking and making, painting, water, messy play, small world play and construction, role play and computer play.

We also have an equally beautiful outdoor area which we share with the Reception classes. Outdoors we choose resources carefully in order to provide a range of experiences across the curriculum areas. Children have access to their own garden, where they take an active role in designing areas of the garden and growing and looking after different plants.

The children also have opportunities each day to explore construction materials, sand, water, BIG play on bikes, trikes and scooters, small world play and role play.

 

 

                  

We have a free flow policy which means that Nursery and Reception children can go into each other’s classrooms and develop relationships and explore activities together.

 

There is so much to do!

Pretend, draw, write, saw, hammer, stick, cut, make, build, explore, investigate, experiment, listen, look, read, count, talk, dig, grow, compost, eat, drink, taste, smell, cook, jump, climb, run, hop, ride, park, bounce, kick, throw, touch, splash, feel, think, sing, dance, paint and much more!
