Children arrive and are welcomed for the morning. There is relaxed free play to help everyone quietly settle into the day; sensory resources are popular for this initial play session.
Nursery
Learning through play
We know that happy children make the best learners and play remains by far the happiest way to learn, yielding natural opportunities for children to become more independent. Play encourages them to use their imagination, giving them space to initiate their own learning and investigate emerging interests.
Although the amount of classroom teaching increases, with some new additions to the curriculum such as Digital Learning, outdoor activity remains a major part of the Nursery day. In effect, children in Nursery have the best of both worlds; they benefit from a familiar and cosy Nursery environment but they also make full use of our beautiful and extensive school campus, with its endless opportunities for adventure, stimulation and inspired learning.
