Nursery

Welcome to Nursery.

Our Nursery teacher is Mrs Palmer.

It follows the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, with a major focus on the developmental needs of young children.

Nursery provides a foundation for learning in a safe and stimulating environment, where children can explore and discover ideas through play. The emphasis is on learning through fun activities rather than formal lessons.
Social skill development is very important. Children learn to interact with their peers, share, take turns and start to develop and manage friendships.
The basics of English and maths are introduced in an informal way, though storytelling, singing and playing with letters and numbers.
The nursery can be very flexible with its approach, in order to meet the diverse needs of the full range of children.
Assessment in nursery is informal and ongoing. What the staff see helps them to change and shape the environment in line with the children’s stage of development and interests.
