NEW STAFF PHOTOS/TEAM COMING SOON 

Our Staff team positively reflect a range of cultures and languages and are all qualified in childcare, most having achieved NVQ Levels 2 and 3.

Some staff have completed further training in an area of interest to them e.g. Communication and Language, Physical Play, Literacy & Creativity.

Staff run small group times to further engage children and develop well-being and self-esteem.

These include PALS, Playing and Learning to Socialise - Forest Schools - Attention and Listening - Musical Story 

Children have Bookbags which they change weekly to then share with you at home.

All staff hold Safeguarding, Food Safety and Paediatric First Aid training along with an up to date Disclosure and Baring Service enhanced check [DBS]

We have two Special Educational Needs Co-Ordinators who work closely with children, their families and outside agencies to ensure any child with additional needs is supported fully within the setting.

All staff have a group of Key Children; they observe and track the children’s progress and development using the Early Years Foundation Stage document and form good relationships with Parents and Carers to ensure that by working together and sharing experiences each child is given the best start to their education.

Over the nursery year we have

• Two Parent/Carer Consultation meetings -when you can come in and share your child’s Learning Journey and talk about your Childs development with their Key Person- you are welcome to meet with your child Key Person at other times as well just by making an informal appointment.
• Development feedback each half term about your child written by their Kay Paerson.
• Celebration Sing Song at the end of each term
• Two Come and Play Days
• Sports Activity Day at the end of the Summer Term
• We hold parent /Carer workshops based on a theme e.g. Stories, Song Time, Keeping Healthy and Active.
• We also select a group of children who we work with to talk about supporting charities and helping others this year we have managed three successful fundraising events all for children’s charities.
• Toy and Book Lending Library
