Nursery is open for 52 weeks a year and caters for boys and girls from the
ages of six months to four years. The ages are divided into three main rooms
the 0-2 room, 2-3 room and the 3-4 room, where each child is allocated a key
worker, who is your main contact for all things that may be relevant to your
child's happiness.
The Nursery day runs from 8.30am to 4pm, divided into sessions: 8.30 to
12noon, 8.30 to 1pm, 12noon to 4pm and 1pm to 4pm. We provide a hot,
nutritious, freshly cooked lunch for children who, as a part of their session,
are with us between 12noon and 1pm.
For staffing ratios we follow the Social Services recommendations. Babies
are cared for in a bright and well resourced environment, with a staff to child
ratio of 1-3. Children move to the 2-3 room (with a staff ratio of 1-4) in the
term after they reach two years of age and become a part of our Foundation
Group. All children have time outside every day either in their own garden
areas, or walking and playing in the school grounds; although, if the weather
is very inclement older children will play on big play equipment in the School
gym.
In the 3-4 room the staff ration is 1-8 and the children are a continuing
part of our Foundation Group, following a curriculum that is closely linked
with our Reception Class.
