Nursery

Welcome to Nursery!

In Nursery, our main aim is to provide a safe and nurturing environment which in turn will enable the children to thrive and learn. We will keep our children safe by being in a Nursery 'Bubble'.

We follow the ‘High Scope’ philosophy – we encourage the children to learn through active involvement with their peers and adults alike. Through engaging in open ended activities we hope the children will become independent, responsible and confident learners.

Our goal is to provide the children with a rich curriculum which meets the children’s interests and yet still provides them with memorable first hand learning experiences.

We want our children to have the best possible start to their learning journey.

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you for working closely with us to implement the Government’s national restrictions which ensure that as many children as possible stay at home to reduce the risk of COVID transmission. The Government has made it clear that this is a critical time with infection rates at their highest and the emergence of new variants of the virus.

We regularly review the provision we have offered in our nursery class. If your child is not attending school, we will continue to support you with home activities and learning. We appreciate this may be a very difficult time for you and we look forward to having a full nursery as soon as we possibly and safely can.

If our present provision is causing you significant difficulty, could you please contact Mrs J Allan by Monday 18^th January to allow us to respond to your request.

Yours sincerely

Mrs J Allan

Headteacher
