The nursery has 1 playroom for children from age 3 to 5 where they can access a variety of different activities and resources. The room consists of our core provision such as a story corner, writing area, interactive whiteboard, music area, woodwork bench, sand, water, art/craft and home corner. We also have a nursery garden where children are able to climb, explore, do gardening, build and run freely. The curriculum is provided through differentiated resources/activities that enable children to learn through play.
Our garden is a great environment to explore with loose parts, mud kitchen, bug hotel, swings, water wall and so much more to discover. We operate free flow play so your child can be indoors or outdoors as much as they choose and in all weather.
We like to go out into our local community and visit the shops and café and when it is safe to do so we will return to this more frequently. Our nursery like to visit the local co-op and we even do some recycling using the large recycling bins located in the co-op car park.
We take part in block sessions of Beach/Forest Kindergarten to explore and experience new environments outdoors. We hire the local mini bus to go to the beach in small groups. We regularly use the local forest and usually meet parents outside Bowhill swimming pool, from there we go into the woods to explore.
Top tip:
Please wear appropriate clothing as we go out in all weathers and if possible bring a full dry set of clothes as you might get wet, muddy or both!
