The routine

In pre-school run children learn through a combination of planned activities, spontaneous play and first hand experiences. At this stage activities are child-initiated, defined by child’s choices and interests.

Our pre-school room offers a wide range of resources to develop child’s creativity, such as sand and water, Art and Craft section and music area. Our Book corner, Writing table, Maths area Science area, Construction area and Small World toys helps children to develop their language and numeracy skills and expands their knowledge and understanding of the world.

We try to create an indoor-outdoor learning environment, where children can play safely and securely in a free-flow situation.

The children are provided with a range of suitable equipment to enhance their physical activity.

Reassurance

You can call us during the day to check on your child's progress for your own reassurance.

Preparing your child for infant school

Together, we will work to fully prepare your child for the challenges of infant school. We provide a safe, happy, play-based environment in which your child can learn to socialise and gain independence outside the family. We prepare children for the routines of a school day. We encourage children to become independent, and to develop their social skills by communicating and sharing with others.

By close observation and continual assessment, we can identify any further learning requirements a child has, so these can be addressed before they start school.

Our nursery maintains close relationships with local schools, and can provide information for parents about schools in your area.
