Preschool

We are now offering free fully funded sessions in our new Pre-School for 2, 3 and 4 year olds who are eligible for 15 or 30 hours funding and we are open Term-Time only 8.45am-2.45pm.

We use online Learning Journeys to share with parents their child’s development and learning at Nursery and Parents can also add their home experiences to this. Parents are welcome to come along to our regular stay and play sessions to observe and engage with their child in the preschool environment.

Children are able to explore daily in our extensive outdoor areas, including our mud kitchen and woodland areas with large play equipment for the children to practise their gross motor skills. Children are able to follow their interests in our well-resourced environments inside and outside supported by highly qualified and experienced staff who plan in the moment to help children reach their full potential.

Early Years

We observe daily and assess every child’s needs and development. This is recorded in their personal progress portfolio and shared with the parents. It is important for children of this age to receive continuity of care between nursery and home therefore the nursery staff will ensure your child’s familiar routine is maintained.

We will provide a high standard of healthy meals using quality ingredients. Your child will receive a two course lunch and snacks which are prepared by our cook, Jackie, using fresh ingredients. We aim to introduce the children to different tastes and textures whilst encouraging good manners and a happy atmosphere when we sit down for meal times.

Welfare

The health and safety of all the children are of fundamental importance. We aim to provide a secure and pleasant environment for everyone. We practice a whole range of safety policies and procedures. Your child is allocated a ‘Key Person’ within their room, who is responsible for your child’s well being, ensuring your child feels individual, secure and cherished while they are away from home.
