Welcome to 'Little Squirrels ' Nursery page!
Welcome to Nursery
I’m Mrs Susman, our Nursery Lead, and I work alongside Miss Bishop, our Teaching Assistant Apprentice. Mrs Pugh also works with us and covers Nursery on Wednesdays.
Throughout the year, children enjoy a wide range of exciting learning experiences, beginning with our topic ‘All About Me’. This topic helps children to learn about themselves, their families and the people who help us in our everyday lives. It provides lots of opportunities to talk, share experiences, develop friendships and celebrate what makes each of us unique.
As the year progresses, we explore a variety of engaging topics, including Woodland Wonders, Transport, Farms and Dinosaurs. We finish the year as Outdoor Explorers, making the most of the wonderful outdoor learning opportunities available to us.
Our Nursery offers children a balance of adult-led and child-initiated activities, both indoors and outdoors. We encourage children to explore, investigate, make choices and follow their own interests as they develop confidence, independence and a love of learning.
Outdoor learning is a very important part of Nursery life. Children have opportunities to ride bikes and scooters, explore our outdoor environment and enjoy learning in our Forest School. We provide a wide range of activities and experiences to support children's learning and development, while ensuring there is plenty of time for play.
We particularly enjoy singing nursery rhymes, sharing stories and engaging in meaningful conversations to support children's communication and language development. We also love seeing children's experiences from home through Tapestry, where families can share photographs and special moments with us. These provide wonderful opportunities for children to talk about their lives outside Nursery and help us to build strong links between home and school.
Children can join our Nursery from the age of two, and we look forward to welcoming new children and families throughout the year.
We hope your child enjoys their time with us, building friendships, developing new skills and creating many happy memories along the way. We look forward to working in partnership with you to support your child's learning and development during their Nursery journey.
Warm regards
Mrs Susman
