The Nursery Day

We are flexible: wraparound care is available for an extended day, you can do mornings only, full days or a mixture to suit your needs.

We ask all children to attend Nursery five days a week, these sessions include specialist teaching and lunch; afternoon sessions run to 3.10, which is slightly before the close of the normal school day. Before and after this time, Nursery children are welcome to join The Hive after school care, which is run by our Hive Manager and a dedicated team of Hive staff who know the children well and are able to provide continuity of care. Before and after school care provides wraparound care from 07:30 up to 18:00 five days a week,  and can be booked regularly or ad-hoc eg when parents have unexpected commitments.

Autumn Term 

This term we will be busy learning about All About Me! Our topic will enable us to think about ourselves and the significant people in our lives and the legacy they leave for us. We will be reading many stories celebrating difference together and talking about our families. In art-based/creative activities, we will draw and paint simple representations of ourselves. To develop our musical skills, we will continue learning new rhymes and songs.

Home Reading - All children in Nursery have a clear communication folder which holds their reading diary and weekly books. Children receive 2 books weekly: one is chosen by the children to encourage and foster the love of books and the second is designed to support children to develop early reading behaviours. (See 'How to support my child in early reading' below). Please return the communication folder to school each Tuesday with the reading diary and 2 books, these will be returned to you on Wednesday. We strongly encourage children to read at least 3 times weekly at home.

PE - Nursery have PE on Monday (morning and day children) and Thursday (afternoon and day children). Please send your child to school in their PE kit on these days - PE lessons may be outdoors (weather permitting) so you may wish to consider your child having a tracksuit for the day. Please make sure all earrings are removed or covered with tape before school on these days.
