Nursery
Nursery is often a child’s first venture alone into the larger world outside the family home. What children experience and learn in Nursery can create strong and lasting foundations on which to build in later life, so we believe it is essential that the experiences are of the highest quality. We equip our children with the skills they will need to help them become independent and active learners. In Nursery our youngest children begin during the term in which they turn three and they will have the opportunity to explore new activities and to become part of our wider school community.
We currently offer 15 hour and 30 hour places depending on eligibility. We offer morning and afternoon places as well as 2.5 day places.

The older children in our Nursery are those that will turn four during the academic year. Our aim is to provide a wide range of activities to motivate and inspire the children in both our spacious inside environment but also in the outside learning area. Parental involvement is seen as key and parents have access to their child’s online learning journey where they are able to make their own valuable contributions by commenting on photos and videos.
Nursery uniform is as follows;
Girls – white short sleeved polo shirt, grey pinafore, skirt or trousers and black velcro shoes. During the Summer term girls may wear as blue summer dress, blue cardigan or jumper
Boys – white short sleeved polo shirt, grey trousers, black velcro shoes, blue jumper
Transition from Nursery to Reception
Reception and Nursery staff work closely together to aid children in their transition from Nursery to school. Reception teachers spend time with the children in Nursery and build links through shared activities. Our Nursery children also spend time visiting Reception so that they are familiar with both the adults and the new environment. For more information on transition visit our transition page.
Reception
In Reception we continue to build on the foundations laid down by Nursery. The children work towards the statutory Early Learning Goals throughout the year, with a particular focus on Reading, Writing and Maths. They are encouraged to develop their independence further thinking about how to tackle problems and to have a go even if they aren’t sure of the outcome.
We are very proud of our children and their achievements.
