Both our nurseries are vibrant places for young children to begin to develop their independence and love of learning.
We support you in preparing your child for Nursery and making the transition from Home to nursery smooth, in the following ways:
- Invitation to an information session about the year ahead
- Invitation to come with your child to a “Stay and Play” session
- Home visits by nursery staff to get to know your child in their own environment
- Phased entry in small groups to help them settle happily
Each half term you will receive a letter explaining what your child is experiencing in each area of learning. The school issues weekly newsletters and there is also a notice board outside the Nursery for up to date information.
