Welcome to our blog page. Thank you for taking a look. This is where we will be sharing information about the children’s interest/ activities and any reminders.
The children are at the heart of all that we do and we are committed to ensuring that all of our children have the best possible start to their life in education. They have been absolutely AMAZING settling into Nursery and taking part in all the activities provided. We are super proud of all your children, and we look forward to enjoying a year of fun and learning with them all.
If you would like to find out what we are learning about this term, please take a look at our Long Term Curriculum Map under Nursery Curriculum Letters.

Some ‘housekeeping’ reminders, sorry! Please could all children’s clothing and belonging be clearly labelled. Also, a spare set of clothing and shoes would be useful, just in case of accidents. • Please remember to send your child to Nursery in clothing suitable for the day’s weather. It is also worth mentioning that the Nursery is always well ventilated and therefore an extra layer during cold spells would be a good idea. • Please provide your child with a drinks bottle filled with water only. Milk, water and fruit are available for all children as a snack during the day. • Lunchtime (Teddies) payments need to be paid a week in advance. Payments are £4 per day, with parents providing a pack lunch. For an additional £2.20 per day, a hot dinner can be provided. Hot dinner money needs to be paid before 10am on the day your child is having it. It would be appreciated if you could let staff know if your child is having a hot dinner. • Children who are being picked up after the morning session, our doors open at 11.25am. Children being picked up after the afternoon session, our doors open at 3.20pm.

Story Telling at Forest School
We have been having lots of fun at Forest School and have been using the outdoor space to bring to life some of the stories we have read within the Nursery. Two favourites we have had so far are The Gruffalo and A Squash and a Squeeze. In both stories the children became completely immersed in the tale and loved finding the characters from the Gruffalo in the 'deep dark woods' and then playing the old lady, the wise old man and all the animals squashing and squeezing into the house. If you get the opportunity to read these stories at home as well, I am sure that the children will love joining in with the familiar phrases.
