The Acorn - Nursery

Welcome to Nursery's Class Page

We provide full day child care for 2 - 4 year olds 8:30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. Monday - Friday during term time. We offer 15 or 30 funded hours depending on eligibility. Children can start with us the term after they turn 2 years old. 

Mrs Charlotte McConnell is the Early Years Leader. She leads an experienced and skilled team; is on the Senior Leadership team and a Deputy Designated Safeguarding Lead. Miss Amelia Downward is the Nursery Manager and is supported by Miss Lindsey Allen, Mrs Julie Chapman, and Miss Joanne MacDonald.

Phase one phonics starts in Nursery.  This supports children in developing speaking and listening skills and helps them become attuned to the surrounding sounds.  It is through building a firm foundation in phase one that children move confidently and competently onto developing oral blending and segmenting skills.

Our Learning Journey 2024-2025

Term 3

Acorn class have welcomed new children into our community, and we are proud of how well they have settled. We have been busy exploring traditional tales like, The Three Little Pigs, The Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. We have enjoyed thinking about the character The Big Bad Wolf! Animals have been a big enjoyment for us all, building homes for them and listening to sounds they make. Our fine motor skills have been developed by cutting paper, fruit and play doh. In maths we are counting, exploring tall and short and hunting for different shapes. We love thinking about our families when we are at nursery, so we have been drawing who we live with. Acorn class have enjoyed learning this term and can’t wait for more fun.

Term 2

In Nursery, we have been very busy bees this term learning about the different celebrations that happen during this time of year. We have focused on firework night, Remembrance day, Diwali and Christmas. This term has been a very busy one and we have enjoyed preparing for our Christmas Nativity alongside Reception Class and we are excited to show our families what we have been up to. The children have all been engaging with our focus stories each week and we have really enjoyed exploring new books as well as revisiting familiar ones.  Nursery children have also had fun exploring the hall in our weekly Monday PE sessions, with a focus on jumping and landing safely.

Christmas Craft Afternoon

We all enjoyed an afternoon of fun, celebrating Christmas through different activities. Thank you to all who could join us.
