Nursery

Hello and Welcome to St John's Nursery

In our Nursery there are two teachers:

Mrs Barker and Mrs Clough

and our Teaching & Learning Assistant

Miss Barnes.

Nursery starts each day at 9am. If you come only for the morning sessions (15hrs a week) then you will be collected by your Grown up from 11.45am.
The morning session ends at 12pm when those children who stay all day (30hrs) have their Packed lunch which they bring from home before continuing the day with the afternoon session.
The Nursery Day finishes at 3.30pm (doors open from 3.15pm) when, again, the Grown ups come to collect us to find out about all the busy things we have been doing during the day.

Every child will be allocated a Key Worker who will make sure they are always settled, happy and learning. Parents and Carers will be able to contact the Key Worker by email.

Please email photos or news of anything you do outside of Nursery that is special to you with a little description of it so that we can add this to your Learning Journeys, talk about it in class and share your news with your friends.

LEARNING AT HOME

USEFUL INFORMATION

Funding and Payments

We have many children staying every day for full days, taking advantage of the government funded 30 hours scheme or the self funded paid top-up sessions that are available.

The cost of an additional afternoon session is £10 for self funded children.

ALL children staying for full days are required to pay £2 per day for the lunchtime supervision. This should be paid a week in advance online via ParentPay.

Please remember that it is your responsibility to apply for and renew your 30 hours voucher codes and give the information to the school office for when the funding checks are carried out - see this website for funding information https://www.childcarechoices.gov.uk/

Water Bottles

Children should bring a water bottle with a sport top to access during the sessions. Please do not send juice in this - Water ONLY. Please make sure your child can easily identify their bottle.

Naming Belongings

Please could we remind parents to name all uniform, shoes, coats, lunch bags and water bottles and to make sure there is a bag of spare clothes on your child's hook at all times. Leggings or trousers that pull up and down easily are best for encouraging independence.

Packed lunches

Please provide your child with a nutricious, healthy lunch that is easy to eat. They will need the necessary forks and spoons in their lunch box and their own bottle of water. We will ask them to eat sandwiches / pasta / crackers and any fruit first. Please do not send sweets or items with a high sugar content as these are not in line with our healthy schools initiative. Please send water to drink.
