We would like to welcome you all to Nursery! We are looking forward to seeing, having fun and getting busy. During your time with us your child will be allocated a key worker, this person will be your main contact at Nursery.
Drop off and collection
School starts at 8.40am and morning sessions end at 11.40am a whole days session finishes at 3.20pm. When you drop off your children, please bring them to the school gate where they will be greeted by a member of staff. If you are collecting your child at 11.40am then please wait in the school reception area, if you are bringing your child to an afternoon session, they start at 12.20pm then please wait in the school reception area. At the end of the day we will dismiss each child individually, this may take a while until we get to know all your faces. Please let us know if another family member or friend will be collecting your child.
Snacks and drinks
Each child will be offered fruit during the morning and afternoon session, they will also be offered milk. Please can the children also have a named bottle filled with water at each session. Please could you let the staff members know of any allergies, medication or dietary requirements, please could you make sure that all this information is also on Arbor.
Clothing
Please could we ask that each child has a spare set of clothes, tops, bottoms, socks and underwear, (each item named) in a bag that can be in school everyday. If your child is in nappies please can we ask that you provide us with nappies, wipes etc, if these could be in a named bag.
We use our outdoor area on a daily basis, so the children will need layers of clothes as we spend most of the morning outside exploring fun activities. It would be useful for each child to have a waterproof all in one and a pair of wellies that can be in Nursery all the time, please can these be named.
Dojo
Dojo is an App for us to be able to communicate with you. Each day the staff will add photos of your children during their time at Nursery. The staff will also inform you of any events that are happening. You can also send photos of your children at home for the staff members to share with your child’s friends. You will be given all the details in September.
Talking Tube
Each day a child is chosen, (from names in a pot) to be the Nursery line leader, this child gets to lead their friends to playtime, lunch etc. They will also bring the ‘Talking Tube’ home with them to fill with objects, toys, photos that they can then return to school to discuss with their friends during circle time, their friends listen and then can ask questions.
We recommend that the children do not bring their own toys into Nursery unless they are in the Talking Tub.
Sharing Stories
Each week the children will bring home a story book that they have chosen to share at home. If the book bags can be returned on the child’s next session then it will be changed.
Hopefully this will answer any questions you have. If there are further queries then please do not hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your support.
