Trips & Visits

Trips and Visits

We aim to provide children with as much first-hand experience as possible. Each week we have a dance coach, Spanish teacher, French teacher and two forest school sessions. 


An example of some of our visits include; dragon dancing for Chinese New Year, fire engine, professional drummer, owls and kestrels, dental nurse, Father Christmas, reindeers, shetland ponies, reptile animal workshop, apple pressing workshop plus many more. 


Each spring an incubator brings awe and wonder to the nursery as we watch either chicks or ducklings hatch. Every year we also have sports day, graduation and Christmas shows and parties. 


Furthermore, on the nursery farm, we look after our own resident pets which include chickens, ducks and horses. The children are encouraged to learn about these animals and how to care for them. They will collect eggs, watch the ducks swim in water, put food out for the birds and learn how to groom a shetland pony.

Parental Involvement 

The nursery promotes diversity through displays, resources and attitudes that are encouraged by our staff. The nursery has a strong equal opportunities policy and families from all cultures and religions are welcome. Staff develop an appreciation of all aspects of our multi-cultural society and activities are planned to recognise and celebrate diversity.

 

We acknowledge parents and carers as primary educators. We develop a partnership by welcoming involvement and feedback at any time. Daily sheets, regular open evenings, newsletters and progressive reports all help to keep parents and carers up to date with their child’s development and nursery news. We also use an online communication app and website called 'Remind'. The 'Remind' app makes it easy for us to keep parents and carers informed by sending messages to their smartphone. 


We provide opportunities for parents and carers to attend a wide range of workshops and supply ideas to help support children's progress at home. Some of the workshops we offer include a forest school workshop, phonic workshop, gardening workshop alongside others. We also hold fundraising events such as Macmillan coffee morning and children in need. In addition to scheduled workshops parents and carers are invited in at any time.
