Nursery Information

Our Nursery

The entrance to the Nursery is via a gate on Walton Road. (See map below)

We now provide wrap around care for Nursery age children from 8am – 6pm. This includes Breakfast and after school clubs. Please ask the nursery staff for more information.

We also have a lovely, large, well-equipped outdoor area with a wide range of play equipment, a covered area, a mud kitchen and a climbing frame.

Drop off and collection

Session timings:  

Morning: 9:00am - 12.00pm

Afternoon: 12.30pm - 3.30pm

Full time: 9:00am - 3.30pm

Early Flexi hours: Full day Monday & Tuesday, Morning only on Wednesday 

Late Flexi hours: Afternoon only on Wednesday, Full day on Thursday and Friday

The drop off and collection point is through the Nursery gate on Walton Road. 

You must drop off and collect your child on time. This is very important for helping your child to feel secure in their routines; arriving and leaving at the same time as other children reduces anxious feelings at transition times. 

Please encourage your child to hang their coat and bag on their peg when they arrive. They can then find their name on the underwater themed self-registration display. 

We will only allow your child to be collected by an adult who is known to us, so please tell us, or contact the school office if anyone different will be collecting your child. Please update the school office if your contact details change. 

Children under the age of fourteen are not permitted to collect children from Nursery.

The nursery gate will is locked 15 minutes after the start of each session. If the gate is locked please come to the school's main entrance on Broad Lane. 

Home School Reading

Children are allowed to take a book home every week. They must have a book bag to carry their book in. Lost or damaged books will need to be paid for. 

What to Wear at nursery

Children in our nursery do not wear school uniform. You need to bring your child to nursery in clothes that are suitable for active, messy play. Shoes should be slip on or have Velcro fastenings, laces are not suitable. 

Whilst we ensure children wear aprons when appropriate, the children learn through play and  there is a strong chance that they will get dirty on a daily basis.

Please pack a spare set of named clothes to be kept at school for your child. Each day please ensure they bring a named water bottle. 

Progress Checks

During the year there will be two Nursery parents meetings to discuss your child’s progress with Miss Curl (3 & 4 year olds) or Sayera (2 year olds). Your child will also receive a written report at the end of the summer term to give an overview of their progress. 

How parents can support the Nursery:

• support to your child’s learning by attending progress meetings

• come to our weekly family reading mornings on a Friday 9 - 9:30am

• attend any trips with your child 

• send recycling materials in for arts and crafts e.g. cereal boxes 

• provide information about your culture or country of origin when it is relevant to our learning 

• donate good quality toys for general nursery use
