Nursery

In Nursery, we aim to provide a safe and secure environment in which your child will be happy, confident, stimulated to learn and have lots of FUN.

We aim to:

• Settle your child into a secure and new environment at the beginning of their learning journey

• Contribute to the all-round growth and development of every child

• Provide a springboard for learning which includes opportunities for structured and spontaneous play

• Ensure active involvement and first-hand experiences in an environment full of possibilities

• Value the very important contribution of parents/carers to their child’s education and to encourage a working partnership between school and home

• Provide experiences and opportunities linked to Wales, its language and culture

We believe that young children learn best through play and practical activities. We ensure that all children have time to explore the indoor and outdoor environment daily. We spend time observing their play and noting their interests, planning next steps in their learning immediately, in the moment. We help to develop their skills as we observe and interact with them during their play. We try to involve the children in our planning process and we encourage them to talk about activities they would like to try, including literacy & numeracy, through all areas of the curriculum:

• Personal and Social Development, Well-Being and Cultural Diversity

• Language, Literacy and Communication skills

• Mathematical Development

• Welsh Language Development

• Knowledge and Understanding of the World

• Physical Development

• Creative Development
