Our Day

During the nursery day the children have access to activities that are set up, as well as the group times stated, and have free flow access to the garden.

Snack

Every morning and afternoon we have a snack bar where the children can independently, with adult support, access a healthy snack and drink. We believe it is the perfect opportunity for the children to experience lots of different fruits and vegetables and be involved with the snack bar, so we ask that you bring in a piece of fruit or vegetable for example peppers, cucumber, carrots that we can chop up and prepare for the children. We can also have breadsticks, crackers and dried fruit and the children enjoy trying the different textures. 

EYFS

The curriculum is split into Prime and Specific areas of learning which are included in all the topics covered each term.

Prime areas:

• Personal, social and emotional development

• Physical Development,

• Communication and Language

Specific Areas:

• Literacy

• Mathematics

• Knowledge and understanding of the world

• Expressive arts and design

Parent Planners  

Each term, before the children embark on their learning in a new topic, we send home a Parent Topic Planner explaining for parents and carers the learning opportunities across the curriculum that each child will receive. Teachers select and suggest useful websites and places to visit which will enhance and prepare the child for the topic they are about to start. There are also useful dates and a bank of topic words that families may choose to talk through with their children.
