Early Years Centre

Most of our children start school in our Early Years Centre which caters for up to 45 children in each of the two sessions.  The Early Years Centre building and outdoor area is new and designed specifically for young children.

Activities on offer range from painting and modelling to sand and water play.  Construction toys, mark making, role play and outdoor play are also available.  The children listen to stories, assist in cooking activities and join in counting rhymes and songs.  They have the opportunity to learn water competency skills in the on-site swimming pool, and go on educational visits to places such as farms, country parks and the beach.

Through these activities the six area of learning of the Early Years Foundation Stage are covered:

1. Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
2. Communication, language and literacy.
3. Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy.
4. Knowledge and understanding of the world.
5. Physical development.
6. Creative development.

Places in the Early Years Centre are offered according to the nursery admissions criteria.  Parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from nursery, and it is our policy that only adults known to the nursery staff are permitted to collect a child at the end of a school session.

Children start in the Early Years Centre in the year after their third birthday. Arrangements are always made for parents and children to visit and spend time in the nursery prior to admission.  Home visits are also carried out prior to admission, and children starting at the beginning of a term will be admitted within the first three weeks.  Times of sessions are - morning: 8.45-11.45am; afternoon - 12.30-3.30pm.

Nursery Admissions

For details, please contact the school reception.

Children will attend part-time i.e. 5 morning or 5 afternoon sessions per week.

Children admitted to the Early Years Centre will normally come from the area normally served by the school although children from outside the immediate area will be considered.
