Our Daily Sessions
We have a lovely nursery space where we have exciting activities for our children to enjoy free flow provision both indoors and outdoors.
We love learning through play, songs and fun !
Have a look at what we’ve been up to – this term we are working on feeling at home in nursery knowing who everyone is and where everything is, finding out about Autumn and learning about ourselves.
We have a really exciting and newly developed outdoor area which is an integral part of our daily session. We run a free flow session whereby after group work all children can access any of our organised areas they wish both indoor and outdoor. Messy play is fundamental and we believe a messy uniform shows a day of learning.
Weather permitting we visit out secure forest area within the school grounds and enjoy play and learning surrounded by nature.
