Meet the Nursery Team 2023

Our Autumn Term Topic is Home Sweet Home.See our Curriculum Web.

In our nursery, we understand that this is possibly the first time you will have left your child for any length of time and that this can be a difficult yet very exciting prospect for both of you!

Therefore, we all work hard in the nursery to make sure everyone feels happy, safe and involved in their learning.  Working together with your children, and with you as parents, is a really important way of ensuring we are successful in doing this. 

We encourage lots of talk to enable everyone to play together, share ideas, learn new skills and develop independence. We are also very fortunate to have our own outside area, which we use all year round whatever the weather! We use all the different areas of nursery, playing and learning together, through your child’s many interests.

Come and join us every Wednesday for 50 Things to do before you are 5.

Stay with your child and explore some fun activities together! 

Morning or afternoon children and parents are welcome, 9-10am. The sessions will be running until Christmas. 

Help and support for parents in Nursery. Please come and chat to one of the Nursery Team.
