We have a well-equipped Nursery with all its own facilities. The children have their own enclosed playground with a separate entrance for safety.

In the Nursery classroom the many resources are displayed within easy access of the children to help to develop their independence.

In our Nursery we follow the Foundation Curriculum as in Britain. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this curriculum, it is basically the National Curriculum for 3-5 year olds and falls into the following six areas of learning:

Personal, Social and Emotional – develops social skills, positive attitudes towards their learning and towards others and exploring their own feelings as well as valuing others.

Communication, Language and Literacy – providing opportunities for the children to talk and communicate in a widening range of situations, to practise and extend the range of vocabulary and communication skills they use and to listen carefully. There are opportunities for the children to experience a rich variety of books as well as to explore, enjoy and learn about and use words and text.

Mathematical Development – to develop the children’s understanding of number, measurement, pattern, shape and space by providing a broad range of contexts in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practise and talk about them.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World – with opportunities for all children to solve problems, make decisions, experiment, predict, plan and question in a variety of contexts, and to explore and find out about the environment and people and places that have significance in their lives.

Physical Development – with opportunities for the children to practise their fine and gross motor skills ( from cutting out a shape to batting a ball!) and to increase their understanding of how their bodies work and what they need
to do to be healthy and safe.

Creative Development – providing opportunities for the children to explore, and share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of art, design and technology, music, movement, dance and imaginative and role play activities.

Sounds daunting? Not at all!
Our emphasis in Nursery is for the children to learn through play, in a warm, caring and stimulating environment, whilst being prepared for the next step – Reception class – the following year. Due to the excellent staff /pupil ratio, the children are involved in more meaningful play and therefore achieve greater results.
