Thank you and can you help us.

Thank you to all those Parents and Carers who are using our scooter/bike park to leave all their scooter/bikes and buggies. We are still having some folded buggies left under our shelter and not left in the correct place. Can you please leave buggies at the scooter/bike park and cover them with a waterproof cover if you are worried about them getting wet. 

 We like to spend as much time as possible outdoors and we use our sheltered areas when it rains, so please do not leave any bike/scooters/ or buggies in this area. Thank you. Can we remind you that all dogs need to be carried if you are bringing them into the Nursery outdoor area and please do not let your children play on the equipment at drop off time in the morning, or at pick up time in the evening. Thank you for all your help and support.

Settling into Nursery

We know that starting Nursery or starting a new Nursery for some of our children is a very worrying time. So many new people and new children and the uncertainty of the day can make children feel very anxious.

Once the have children have got use to the new routine of the Nursery day they will soon build confidence and fell happy that they know what will be happening next and have a better idea about their day. For some children this can take longer than others.

If you are worried about your child settling into Nursery please talk to a member of the Nursery staff as they will be able to tell you how your child has been. If you would like more help and support you can always speak to the class teacher. 

Supporting your child at home.

During the year we will be providing workshops and video guides so that you can support your child's development during their time at Nursery.

Supporting Children with Additional Needs

All children may experience some difficulties in learning from time to time during their school life. We aim to provide equal access to the whole curriculum for all children including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).  All nursery staff are involved in the learning and development of pupils with SEND with Parents/Carers involved at all stages.

Mrs Chadwick is the schools SENDCo, she works closely with nursery to ensure that any children experiencing difficulties are able to gain the support needed as early as possible. 

We place great emphasis on identifying pupils with additional needs as early as possible, therefore ensuring a differentiated curriculum to accommodate individual needs and allow maximum access to the curriculum. Where a child has a particular individual need, we will make reasonable adjustments to help them overcome their difficulties which may include additional support. Depending on the identified need this support may take place in class, in a small group or on an individual basis. On occasion, additional support is sought from an external agency such as;

• School Health
• Behavior Support service
• Educational Psychology Service

• Speech and Language 

• Occupational Therapy 

• SEN Inclusion team 

• Early Start 

• Family support

You can also see an overview of our Special Educational Needs support by clicking here to see our whole school provision.
