As a private school, and community based focus. We offer support to children within the community who are willing but have no means. Support us with a token.
Every child at our Nursery receives a wonderful start in life in a warm, safe, homely rooms and you will find happy, secure children, playing, exploring, experimenting, socialising, discovering, learning and, above all, smiling. We pay close attention to each individual child by our experienced, well trained teachers. You will see how we encourage and nurture their personal interests, how we set them specific goals, and how those goals are so closely monitored that they can be updated by the hour. And you will also see specialist teachers coming in from later stages of the school to introduce the boys and girls to subjects such as PE, ICT, music, drama and language such as French.
We focus on Early Years Foundation stage seven areas of learning in our Nursery: communication and language; physical development; social and emotional development; literacy; mathematics; understanding the world; and expressive arts and design.
Every child, for example, enjoys a daily session in Maths and in our ‘Read. They participate in ‘circle time’, where they learn to talk, listen and share ideas as a group. And they can choose from a wonderful range of different activities – role-playing in the home corner, reading in the book corner, and engaging in all sorts of arts and crafts play.
We also have specialist teachers to lead the children in subjects such as Music, ICT, PE and French. Our PE Teacher, for example, might use our school games apparatus to help the boys and girls extend their skills in running, jumping, climbing and balancing, while our ICT teacher might help the children experiment with the brand new Nursery iPads and other ICT gadgets
Sometimes we give the children fresh opportunities by taking them outside the Nursery, perhaps for a nature walk or a visit to a local shop. Other times we invite visitors to come in – perhaps a dentist, a hairdresser or even a child’s new baby sister.
Whatever we do, we map it closely against the seven areas of learning, monitoring each child’s individual progress and setting next steps that we share with you as parents. That way we can nurture each child’s strengths and interests at just the right pace to promote their self-esteem and confidence. It’s an individualized approach that continues into Reception and then into Key Stage 1 and beyond.
Your son or daughter is unique and our team of highly qualified and experienced Nursery teachers look forward to providing them with opportunities specifically tailored to enhance their development and love of learning.
Once your child has started Nursery, he or she will be assigned to a Key Person, who will be responsible for their learning and well-being. But the most important role of a Key Person is to build a strong relationship with both you and your child. That way we can ensure that your child is happy in their learning environment and that they develop the social, emotional and physical skills needed for everyday life and for their later years in school.
The more you can tell us about your child – their latest successes and interests, their recent worries or issues – the more closely we can shape our activities to meet their needs. You are therefore welcome to talk to your Key Person, to me or to any member of our staff at any time – either in person, by email or over the phone. We’ll always be pleased to hear from you.
