We are also running two 'Stay & Play' sessions for prospective reception children and their families on Saturday 16th November and Saturday 23rd November from 9.30am to 11am - all are welcome to come along to meet the staff and see the reception classroom and outdoor area.  Just drop in!

We welcome all children from all faiths, or none, we welcome all applications!

Nursery and Reception now work together in one large unit. The staff work closely together to plan a range of exciting activities and provision following the children’s interests, whilst carefully thinking about progression of learning.

Having the children together has many benefits – most importantly it allows the staff to build excellent relationships with the children throughout their time in the EYFS. It allows for a seamless, worry-free transition for children when they move from our Nursery to Reception as they remain in the same setting with familiar adults.

The mixed age unit also allows our children to access work at their level – our youngest children can access challenges and those who might need a little extra support have access to this throughout carpet inputs and provision daily. The children engage in a mix of whole class, small group, mixed age and mixed ability activities as well as adult directed and independent, self-chosen learning.
