Contact

Staff will be on the door daily during drop off and pickups, where we can share quick bursts of information about your child’s day however time is short at these points of the day. If you would like to speak about something in more depth, please contact Mrs Bamford or Mrs Udueni via Class Dojo, who will be delighted to arrange an appointment for after school.

Changing

If your child is in nappies, they will have one routine change per session, and any additional changes as required. Please send your child with enough nappies and wipes each day for multiple changes and please provide a full change of clothing.

When you are ready to start your potty training journey, please talk with your child’s keyworker about what you are doing at home, so we can support with familiar routines in school.

Uniform

The uniform is black or grey bottoms, and a jumper. We ask that children are dressed in comfortable and flexible clothing that allows them to move freely and ask that expensive or designer clothing is saved for home. We can get messy in nursery! Children must have full, comfortable and supportive shoes.

No Crocs or sandals please – they are not safe for running and climbing.

We are an all-weather nursery, and children will have access to the outdoor environment in all weather conditions, where safe to do so. Children will need to be dressed for the weather conditions of the day. Please label all items of clothing clearly.

Snack time

Children do not need to provide a snack, fresh milk and a piece of fresh fruit is provided daily

Curriculum

Children will be taught and assessed within the Early Years Statutory Framework (EYFS) with a big focus on the Prime Areas of learning, which are Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development (PSED). They will also receive adult-led teaching in the specific areas of literacy, maths and understanding the world, through our phonics, maths, literacy and topic sessions.

During their nursery sessions, children will take part in short, adult-led activities designed to develop language, vocabulary skills and key PSED behaviours such as turn taking and sharing. During the rest of the time, children will access the continuous provision, leading their own learning through choosing to follow their own interests in play. The adults will support their learning through quality interactions and challenging children to extend their learning.

Our 3-4 nursery does have some availability for children of working families to attend for 30 hours
