Nursery


Welcome to Nursery!

The first stage in your childs’ Early Years Education
Welcome to the Nursery page. Here you will find information about what we do in nursery and ways you can help at home.

In the nursery a strong emphasis is placed on children building relationships with other children and adults that work with them.  This significantly impacts on their ability and motivation to learn.  If they feel secure in their environment, then they are more motivated.

We observe the children to find out what their interests are and then plan activities that relate to these interests, taking into account some of their next steps in learning.

Much of the children’s time is spent accessing activities and resources of their choice, but each day a teacher focused activity is planned for the children.

Autumn activities

The children have been actively discussing the seasonal changes that occur during this time of year. As part of our learning, we recently enjoyed our first walk to the local park, where we engaged in various activities and had thoughtful discussions about the Autumn season. In addition to exploring nature, the children have been learning important concepts such as sharing, understanding emotions and feelings, and building new friendships.
