To support your child's developing reading skills you will recieve an email from the Nursery this week to inform you or your chid's next steps. For those children who are still developing confience in their sounding and blending skills they will continue to progress through the 'Sound Blending' books. For those children who have devloped confidence in sounding and blending, they will be using the 'My Phonics Book'. Please view the relevant video below on how to use the book/booklet to support your child develop their early reading skills.

Supporting your child at home.

Nursery Behaviour Policy

During Parent Consultation Meetings some parents have expressed a preference to carry on the use of our behaviour plan at home. We have therefore included our Golden Rules which are used throughout the whole school and our Traffic Light system. We hope you will find them useful to use with your children at home.

Parent Workshop on Language and Communication

Thank you to those parents who were able to attend the workshop on Saturday morning. We are glad you found it useful and informative. We will be presenting another workshop at the end of January 2022 about phonics.

The Power Point from the workshop is available below.

Parent Workshops

Early Start Ealing are providing a range of workshops for parents to support early development in specific areas for children. Please view the document below and book via the email address if you have interest in any of the sessions they provide.

Children's Snacks in Nursery

Dear Parents/Carers

Just a reminder to say that due to pupil allergies, please do not put any snacks into your child's bag to bring into Nursery. Children should have a water bottle and named changes of clothes. Could you please also encourage your child not to bring in any toys from home as if they are lost or damaged it causes a lot of distress for your child.

Water bottles in Nursery

Dear Parents/Carers,

Please ensure that children only have water in their water bottles when they bring them to Nursery. Water is great for the children and it helps to hydrate them quickly, is good for their teeth and is brilliant brain food. 

Thank you.

Mr McEvoy

Nursery Outdoor Learning Area 

Dear Parents/Carers 

Please can you help us keep our Outdoor Learning Area tidy at the end of the day by encouraging your children not to play or use our equipment when you are collecting your child from the Nursery. We know it is an inviting and exciting place for children to be, but we would be grateful if you could please promote our outdoor area as our outdoor classroom. Thank you. 

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.
