Our vision is to provide the highest standards of care and support for education in an inclusive and welcoming environment. All parents need to check their child's drawer every morning. Your password for the high school barrier is your child's name. Your child's jumper/cardigan needs to be labelled with their name.
If your child brings sandwiches to nursery please make sure grapes and tomatoes are cut in half.Each day your child attends nursery they will need: Please clearly label all of the above items with your child's name. Your child will be sent home with a reading book.
We ask that you read with your child at least 3 times a week as this helps with their concentration and letter & sound recognition. We have an open-door policy in preference to formal parent's evenings. If you want to see your child's work or discuss their progress please see your key worker or nursery manager to make arrangements.
Encourage your child to take their own coat on and off. Also teach your child how to dress and undress independently.
