There are 64 children in the school each session supported by a key worker & our full staff team. The key worker is responsible for liaising with parents/carers as well as recording, evidencing & assessing the child’s achievements & progress. The whole team work together to provide rich, stimulating play and learning experiences appropriate to each & every child in our nursery. All staff have a part to play in monitoring the child’s progress.
These observations & assessments form the basis of Parent’s Meetings throughout the year. Examples of your child’s progress are continuously added to Your Child’s Care Plan, Learning Journal & Learning Log.
During each morning or afternoon session the children are free to choose from a wide selection of play experiences and opportunities in a child centred approach. We start our session every day with a story and song and consultation with our children enables us to plan for their day and where they want to play.
Under the title “Nurture Through Nature” we provide a free flow experience where our, out and indoor learning experiences work in response to your individual child's needs and learning styles and the outdoor environment provides an extension of our playroom planning. This provides children with autonomy over their learning environment on a daily basis and provides rich learning experiences daily for all our children.
Relationships are at the heart of everything we do and as a result parents and carers are welcome to stay and play at request and through our planned stay and play sessions regularly throughout the year. We hope as many of our families will join us and enjoy the fun and learning in the center.
