Nursery                                                    

The nursery is led by  Mrs Trossell and Miss Golledge our nursery teachers.  Mrs.Tiler is our Nursery Nurse.  Together they work to support and guide children through their learning and development.

We aim to develop a child's ability and self-confidence, encouraging good behaviour and consideration for others within a challenging yet safe environment that encourages creativity and stimulates curiosity and learning.

The Foundation Stage

It is called the Foundation Stage because it gives children secure foundations for later learning. Childhood is important in itself and we want all children to have enjoyable and satisfying experiences. Early experiences also affect children’s attitudes to learning. They create a basis for later learning, in school and beyond. This period is a distinct stage with its own ‘early learning goals’. It is a play led curriculum which enables children to develop and learn according to their individual needs, dispositions and interests.

It also prepares them for the work on the National Curriculum at Key Stage 1 in Primary School.

What are the goals?

The goals are a series of aims within the six areas of young children’s development and learning:

1. Personal, social and emotional development, in which goals relate to developing confidence and independence while learning to concentrate and enjoy sharing as part of a group.

2. Communication, language and literacy, which covers communication with one another and developing skills in talking, listening, writing and readying.

3. Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy relates to using ideas about number, quantity, measurements, shape and space.

4. Knowledge and understanding of the world covers investigating and beginning to understand the things, places and people around them.

5. Physical development relates to improving control and co-ordination of their bodies while learning to move and handle equipment.

6. Creative development, which covers finding ways to communicate by using colour, shape, sound, texture, movement and stories.

Parental Involvement

We welcome all parents and carers into our Nursery. We believe it is important for parents and carers to be involved in their children’s education. We value the learning that has already started at home and the role parents and carers play as their child’s first educators. We aim to work together with parents and carers to build on the learning that has already started at home, by developing and extending the children’s skills, fostering their natural curiosity and by enabling them to build a deeper knowledge and understanding of the world in which they live.

“Parental involvement is having a loving, respectful,
conversational relationship with your child.”
