Nursery – Saplings

Welcome to Saplings Nursery!

Our class teacher is Mrs Budd

We are supported also by Mrs Wallace, with

Mrs Rose supporting us on Wednesday Afternoons

We have a P.E session once a week in the morning. Your child will need a P.E. kit with shorts and a T-shirt (on occasion your child will need a pair of trainers for PE due to use of the school field).

Outdoor Learning at the Withy, takes place on a Monday and Wednesday mornings.
Please provide your child with  a puddle suit / waterproofs and a pair of wellingtons to stay at Nursery.

During our day children explore a variety of themed Invitations to Play; these differ weekly based on our 'Story of the week' planning focus.

Our Nursery follows a Book of the week planning focus as a way to ensure that children within our centre have a diverse and wide Communication and Language rich environment in which to thrive and learn.

Children are encouraged to be independent and make their own choices when accessing a wide range of activities, each day children will also be encouraged to participate in adult-led learning opportunities.   Our semi-structured day is centred solely around our children and their engagement within their learning and nursery class. This, coupled with lots of fresh air and trip exploring our local community, provides a busy week here in Saplings. 
Your child's Teacher/Key Worker will update Tapestry regularly with Observations of your child's learning journey and also complete termly developmental updates to ensure a true reflection and record of your child's development is maintained. 

At the end of their time in Saplings, the children will have increased levels of confidence, socially interactive and prepared for their smooth transition to full-time schooling.
