Parents

We endeavour to build up a good relationship between parents and staff and offer parents the opportunity to share in the important role of educating their children. They are made welcome in the Nursery, are kept fully informed about the learning programme and their child's progress throughout the year.

Organisation

The Nursery Unit incorporates a large playroom (with an extensive range of challenging activities), a delightfully decorated quiet room, children's toilets, an indoor covered area, with a safety surface for indoor energetic play, a well equipped kitchen and staff/parent room. Outdoors there is a tarmac section, a grassy area, which incorporates a cycle track and a small garden area.

Our Aims

To provide a happy, safe, secure and stimulating environment
To provide opportunities to promote self-expression, imagination and creativity
To help develop a good self-image
To provide opportunities for the child to develop independence, confidence and curiosity
To develop social skills and respect for others and the environment
To involve parents in a team approach to their child's learning

For some children leaving home, for the first time perhaps, and venturing into the world of school, can be a frightening experience. We hope to make this transition as caring and gentle for all concerned so that the child may begin to develop in a happy and enjoyable environment.
