Pre-school Nursery Class

Each child is assigned a Key Carer who is responsible for ensuring that all of their needs are met, and is the main point of contact with their key child’s parents. This provides consistency and security for the children.

The children have access to a wide range of resources and equipment, both indoors and outdoors. Nursery Class have constant access to our Early Years playground which is designed specifically for the younger children, with fixed climbing equipment to support physical development, and also an array of play equipment such as bikes, toys, books, arts and crafts and play equipment. We have a garden and mud kitchen with a good supply of waterproofs and wellies, so that Nursery Class can have messy outdoor fun all year round.

Indoors, the children can make use of the school library, and they make regular use of the hall where they can spread out when their Music and Movement specialist is teaching, or keep active in the wet weather when their soft play equipment is set up.

Further afield, as well as weekly Forest School sessions off-site, and swimming at the Britannia Leisure Centre, our Nursery Class go off on frequent trips, from local nature rambles along the canal, to visits to London Zoo or the many other great venues that London has to offer.

Nursery Class are prepared well for their next step to primary school by means of school assemblies, shows and events, which provide familiarity with school routines, and allow them to spend time with older children. Academically, the children’s introduction to English and Maths, means that they are prepared to move onto the Key Stage One Curriculum after they have joined Reception Class.
