When starting in nursery all children are assigned to a key group. The groups are all given a colour, Orange, Blue, Red, Green and Yellow. Each key group has a key worker who is the main designated contact for that child. Although all our staff take a keen role in supporting every child across our nursery setting, the key worker who is the main designated contact for that child/family. In some cases where staff work part time, there may be two key workers who work with one key group.

What is Xpressions, what are Xpressions?

Xpressions is a service, providing parents with an app to receive messages from the school.

The app is available on iOS and Android, with plans to bring it to a web browser soon.

How does the app work?

The app receives messages, called Xpressions, sent from the school. They are similar to WhatsApp or iMessage, being transmitted over the internet rather than SMS text messages. Thousands of schools are using Xpressions, swapping out SMS and saving money in the process of communicating with their parents.

How do I get set up?

When schools sign up to use Xpressions, they automatically create an account for each parent to log in. Rather than using a username and password system, Xpressions uses information that parents will always remember- their email address and mobile phone number.

While logged in, parents will receive a notification on their phone when a new Xpression has been sent to them from the school.

To support communication and sharing of learning at a class level we use the Seesaw app. This app enables nursery staff and children to work together to write posts to share updates, reminders and to celebrate each others achievements by sharing text, photos or videos. The app includes a messaging system which parents may use from time to time if they need to get in touch with their Keyworker, although we do ask that information on absence from school etc is passed via the school office as nursery staff may not receive messages through the school day when working with children.

Currently paused until further notice

We run a 'stay and play' rota within the nursery to encourage parents to stay and play alongside their children. Parents may be able to share a skill, interest, do some baking with the children or even talk about their workplace while they are in session. Speak to a staff member to sign up!
