Lift Off

Before your child starts with us they can attend 'Lift Off' sessions to gradually introduce your child into nursery, initially with a parent. In these sessions we will be happy to help you with paperwork and talk to you about your child so that we can get to know them better. We will also come and visit you at your home so the children can meet us in their comfort zone. 

Our Hope and Dreams

As a team we plan an exciting curriculum for your little ones. We change our topic half termly to keep the children excited and engaged in their learning and enviroment. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage framework so that the children leave nursery independent and ready to further develop a lifelong love of learning.

Reading

When your child starts Nursery they will be provided with their own bookbag on their home visit (how exciting!). The children will be able to choose a book to share with their parent/carer at home. There is a basket in the Nursery entrance where you are able to encourage your child to change their book on a regular basis. Promoting a love of books is essential to develop a child's imagination and this age.

Independence

In Nursery we promote independence, we encourage children to put their coats on themselves using the 'upside down method'. Children are also encouraged to use the toilet independently. If you are able to promote this at home it will help your child during their time at Nursery. 

Snack time

Children will be taught to independently access snack in Nursery during free flow.

They are provided with a variety of fruit and vegetables every day and can choose milk or water to drink.

Please inform the school office if your child has any allergies.
