Welcome to Nursery

Hello and welcome to our nursery web page. Here you will find information about our nursery and what the children are learning. 

 We create a safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident and independent learners. 

As outlined in Development Matters September 2021 “When we give every child the best start in their early years, we give them what they need today. We also set them up with every chance of success tomorrow.”

🦷 Achieving Healthy Smiles – Nursery & Reception

We are proud to have achieved the Achieving Healthy Smiles Programme! 🌟

In Nursery and Reception, we promote positive oral health habits throughout the year, helping children to understand why looking after their teeth is important and supporting them to develop healthy routines from an early age.

We promote healthy smiles through:

• Discussions and activities about brushing teeth and keeping our mouths healthy.

• Stories, songs and role play to make learning about oral health fun and memorable.

• Healthy eating choices, helping children to recognise foods and drinks that are good for their teeth.

• Encouraging children to choose water and milk and understand the impact of sugary drinks.

• Creative activities and displays linked to healthy teeth and healthy lifestyles.

• Working with families, sharing information and ideas to encourage healthy routines at home.

•  Promoting the importance of regular dental check-ups and visiting the dentist.

Through our everyday practice and curriculum, we ensure that healthy smiles are part of our children's learning, routines and wider wellbeing.

Healthy habits today help create healthy smiles for life! 

Online Learning Journals 

Every child has an online learning journal where parents and the early years team can document the child's learning and experiences.

Chat, play, read!

Young children love it when you chat, play and read with them. You can turn almost anything into a game. And every little thing you do together will help set them up nicely for the day they start school.

Toilet training 

Department of Education - How to support babies and young children with toilet training.

Every child’s development is unique. Some children can be toilet trained earlier and faster than others. It is important to support children to learn at their own pace.

The advice on when to start toilet training children can vary. NHS guidance explains that most children are ready to begin toilet training from around 18 months to 2 years.

However, some people may choose to start earlier.

Starting toilet training after 2 and a half to 3 years can make it harder for some children to learn this new skill.

Different cultures may start toilet training at different ages. Toilet training should be guided by the child’s parents or carers. It is important to respect parental preferences during the process.
