Welcome to Nursery
In Nursery we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, which focuses on the development of the individual child and provides high quality learning opportunities for the children to learn through play. The children are able to explore, take risks, have fun, form friendships, think critically and form their own ideas.

 Nursery News
We have had a busy start to 2026. We made the most of winter, embracing the little bit of snow that we did have and experimenting with ice and frost. We enjoyed painting on it and sliding on it as well as building our own snowmen and painting and drawing some amazing pictures. This cold weather inspired us to find out more about the polar regions and the animals that we might find there. Our favourite story was The Three Snow Bears and we were eager to make vegetable soup just like the bears. It really was delicious. Towards the end of the half term we celebrated Lunar New Year with noodles, dragon dancing and Chinese lanterns.
As the sunshine has emerged, so did the first signs of spring. We went off hunting around school for crocuses, daffodils and catkins. We spent a long time listening to the blackbird and watching him gathering twigs for his nest. Our Mums were treated to squidgy Rice Krispie hearts that we thoroughly enjoyed making for Mother’s Day and we now have the most fantastic art gallery in Nursery, brimming with spring creations. As Easter approaches we are keeping a hopeful eye out for the bunny, hopping past our Nursery window.
