Welcome to Nursery, this is where your story begins! Our adults are Mrs Kilgallon and Mrs Weaver. We work hard as a team to ensure children feel safe, valued and nurtured within the Nursery environment.
We have our own designated nursery and garden area where we have a range of activities such as sand and water, construction, role play and craft.
The children practise their physical skills and learn about the world around them. We enjoy listening to stories and rhymes, singing and dancing, exploring and investigating and getting messy whilst playing and learning inside and out! We have an amazing, purpose built Forest School, which we access as often as we can.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which comprises of seven areas of learning; Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development; Communication and Language; Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding of the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
