Nursery Aims

In our Nursery we aim to:

• provide a welcoming, exciting and carefully structured environment where your child will feel happy and secure and able to achieve his/her full potential.
• provide a broad and balanced curriculum which is based upon the revised EYFS, a thorough knowledge of child development, good early years practice and the individual needs of each child.
• recognise that as parents you are the child’s main educators in life and strive to develop strong links between home/school.

How we learn at Nursery

At Nursery we learn in lots of different ways, using interactive and fun resources, and taking advantage of our brilliant indoor and outdoor spaces.

Tapestry

We record observations and assessments of the children, to create an online learning journal. This means that parents/carers can access their child’s learning journal at home without having a big folder full of paper to look at. You will have your own personal log-in where you can see what your child has been doing at Nursery. We will aim to do several observations each half term, and some of these may link to the “Next Steps” planning for your child’s development. We will have ideas for you to use at home to help with this.

You can also add your own observations of things your child has done at home. It might be a picture of a fun day out, or them playing with a favourite toy!

Celebrating Learning

In our room we have our ‘Scrapbook’ display, which is a celebration of learning at home and in nursery.

Please do bring in art, writing, photos, stories and examples of learning from home that can contribute to the display.
