What might your child's day look like? 

Morning session - 8:30-11:30am (Doors will be open from 11:25am so all children are dismissed by 11:30am)
Afternoon session - 12:15-3:15pm (Doors will be open from 3pm to enable sibling pick up around school)

A staff member will be standing by the door at drop off times and collection times. Any messages, such as changes to your collection arrangements, can be given at this time.

In Nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The seven areas of learning and development that shape our curriculum are:

• Personal, social and emotional development (PSED)
• Mathematics (M)
• Communication and language (CL)
• Literacy (L)
• Understanding of the world (UW)
• Physical development (PD)
• Expressive Arts and Design (EAD)

Maths and Literacy in Nursery
Lots of fun comes from playing games, sharing books and singing nursery rhymes! This means that maths and literacy learning can take place at the same time. It is important that young children are aware of numbers and sounds from an early age, and that they can have fun with them in a relaxed atmosphere. In Nursery, we like to link these two areas to the wider world and talk to the children about numbers and sounds in the environment. It is so important to develop curiosity and good observational skills which will transfer to other areas of life!

In our Nursery, we include lots of regular activities during the day to help children get used to Nursery and know what to expect. Activities include:

• Meet and Greet!
• Group Time
• Communication Snack Time
• Continuous Provision, including free-flow outdoor learning 
• Directed Tasks
