Nursery is all about learning through play. It is a time for fun, exploration and creativity. Both our indoor and outdoor provision offer a wide variety of child led activities for the children to develop their independence and social skills. The children will also join in with guided activities to help move them on in their learning.

  If you have any questions please speak to a member of the Nursery team and we will be more than happy to help you.

 Reading in Nursery  

In Nursery we read high quality texts each day. There are reading areas in both the indoor and outdoor provision which gives the children plenty of opportunities to read for themselves and with their friends.

We will change library books on a Monday. Please send your child to Nursery with their library book and reading record each Monday. 

This half term we will focus on reading Clem and Crab, Hooray for Fish! and The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The children will be given lots of opportunities during teaching time and in the provision to retell the story and develop their communication and language skills.

In Nursery we are always working hard on our communication skills, including our listening! We play ring games, complete listening activities, enjoy stories and poems, and sing lots of nursery rhymes. All of this is helping to develop our ability to listen, concentrate and focus our attention. All of these are complex skills and the children are working so hard to improve them.

You can help your child at home by reading and following the '5 Golden Rules of Communication'.

Warmer Weather

Summer is approaching and the weather is getting warmer! Please send your child to Nursery with a water bottle and a sun hat every day. Please ensure you apply sun cream to your child before Nursery.
