We welcome all children from all faiths, or none, we welcome all applications!

We have a nursery class and a reception class in our school and admit up to 30 children in each class. Nursery and reception children share our outdoor space and staff across both classes work together to plan a range of exciting activities and provision following the children’s interests, whilst carefully thinking about the progression of learning for each child.

Having the children working together at times has many benefits – most importantly, it allows the staff to build excellent relationships with the children throughout their time in the EYFS. It allows for a seamless, worry-free transition for children when they move from our Nursery to Reception as they remain in the same setting with familiar adults.

The opportunity for children to work in mixed-age groups also allows our children to access work at their level – our youngest children can access challenges and those who might need a little extra support have access to this through carpet inputs and provision daily. The children engage in a mix of whole class, small group, mixed age and mixed ability activities as well as adult-directed and independent, self-chosen learning.
