Nursery: Miss Gray
Spring 1 2022
Welcome back Nursery!
We hope you had a lovely Christmas! The children in our Nursery have settled back really well and are growing in confidence. This half-term, we will be focusing on 'Dreams and Goals' with a topic on Superheroes and people who help us. Adults continue to support the children throughout our provision, which we adapt regularly to suit the needs of each child.
Please check this page for any updates/ information you may need.
Staff: Miss Gray (Class Teacher), Miss Ireland (Learning Support Assistant) and Miss Haskayne.

Attendance
It is important your child is in school as much as possible in order to reach their full potential, however if your child is in any way ill or showing any symptoms of COVID-19, then they should not be in school. You must inform the school immediately if your child or anyone in the household has COVID-19 symptoms or has tested positive.
Hygiene
Children will be expected to wash their hands regularly throughout the school day for at least 20 seconds, including in the morning as they first enter the classroom. Please show your children how to wash their hands effectively and ensure they are aware of the importance of hand hygiene.
Forest School
All children in EYFS have access to Forest School sessions. Throughout the year children get the chance to spend time exploring and learning about the natural environment while developing new skills. We will be taking part in lots of fun activities including; den building, using tools safely and outdoor art!
30 hour FREE Nursery Provision for working parents of 3 & 4 year olds, is now available.
15 hours free nursery provision is still available to all 3 & 4 year old children.
Please contact school to arrange a meeting and tour of our provision with Miss Nelson (EYFS Lead).
