Pre-reading and number skills are introduced and reinforced throughout the year. Specialist teachers are used for Music, Dance and Drama and French.

Particular attention is paid to developing the children's personal, social and emotional skills. Good manners, being kind and sharing are encouraged from day one. Children learn by example and through activities such as circle time and small group sessions.

Facilities
The classroom opens out onto a covered playground which allows for outside learning. The Nursery has full access to the school grounds including the climbing frame, outside space and the gym.

The Nursery is well resourced and benefits from a range of large and small equipment which enables the children to gain confidence and enjoyment whilst learning through play.

Children are offered a mid morning snack of fresh fruit. Nursery children, who are staying the whole day, have lunch in the dining room. Polite table manners are both encouraged and expected.

Communication
Nursery has an open door policy and staff are always available to see parents with queries and concerns. We hold Parent consultations twice a year and parents receive a comprehensive written report about their child’s progress at the end of the academic year.

Admissions Process

Children may be registered for the nursery from any age. To register a child formally, the registration form  must be filled out and signed by all those with parental responsibility. This must be returned to the School, together with a cheque or bank transfer, for the non-returnable registration fee. At this stage if parents declare any special educational, medical need or disability the School will make all reasonable adjustments for the admissions process.

Upon receipt of the registration form and after meeting the parents a place will be formally offered. Taster days and settling days, which are tailored to the individual child’s requirements will be organised.
