Nursery

We do vary our activities for our children. This gives our children the opportunity to explore new and different things, whilst having time learning to play with others and becoming ‘independent’.   In addition, we ask the children to help set up for snack/times, and clearing up and tidy up after activities. We hope, this teaches them that to have fun you also have some chores that do need to be carried out.

• We have structured activities and flexible activities.
• Structured – include a pre planned nursery curriculum (this is done on weekly themes).
• Flexible – free play time & garden activities.
• Playing with toys.
• Painting & drawing, cutting, sticking, puzzles.

Play is an essential part of every child’s life and vital to their development. It is the way children can explore the world around them and develop and practise skills. It is essential for physical and emotional growth, intellectual and educational development, acquiring social and behavioural skills.
