NURSERY
Nursery Teacher - Mrs Bracken
Support Staff - Miss Maria
Settling In
Parents and carers are welcome to stay for as long as you like especially in the early days! As your child becomes more confident, you might wish to leave him/her to begin their journey to independence. Children are all individuals so do not be anxious - do whatever is best for your child.
All children will begin with morning sessions. The morning session begins at 9.15 and finishes at 12.
When happily settled, if your child has a full time place, he or she will stay for lunch and the afternoon session.
Faith in the Family - the spiritual, social, moral and cultural life in the nursery
We love to begin the day with our morning prayer together.
We also have story books, children's Bibles and prayer books that we hope will help you develop the faith of your family. You may choose a book on Friday to share with your child during the week.

All About Me
The children have their own special book/diary which will contain pictures, photos and notes about their days in the nursery. Please feel free to include the same from home.
Reading Books
In the Nursery, children can take home one book. When parents come in during the settling in period, this is an ideal opportunity to choose books for children to read at home. When the children stay for lunch, they choose their own book. PACT (Parents And Children Together) folders are available to buy from the School office (£3). We request that every pupil has a PACT folder for their book.
Our planning might change depending on children's interests!
Clothing
The Nursery winter uniform consists of navy, elasticised trousers and a navy round neck sweatshirt (no hoods or zips). Nursery children can wear any coloured T-shirt. Shoes should be suitable for physical activity and Velcro is a particularly practical fastening. Trainers can be cumbersome and hot - so consider carefully!
The summer uniform for boys and girls consists of a short sleeved T-shirt or polo shirt of any colour. Shoes suitable for summer should be worn with socks (no open toed sandals or flip flops). Please label all your child’s belongings.

Sand, soil and water activities are an important and integral part of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and children are encouraged to participate in a range of such activities inside and outside.
We request that you leave a spare set of clothing, including underwear, in school.

Children have continued access to the outside area throughout the day and are encouraged to play in most reasonable weather conditions.
They need to have a pair of Wellington boots, a waterproof jacket and waterproof trousers which they can leave in the school. Please ensure your child has warm outdoor clothes during the winter months. Please apply total sun block on your child and provide them with a sun hat during the summer. |

We have followed the guidelines of ‘DFES Managing medicines in Schools and Early Years Settings’ - March 2005 and ‘Tower Hamlets Meeting Medical Needs’ - February 2005 and we acknowledge: ‘Children should not be refused admission, excluded, denied access to curriculum entitlements…because of their medical condition.’ Any condition that requires medication must be discussed with Foundation Stage teachers. However, new guidelines also advise that children who have suffered from sickness or diarrhoea should return to school no sooner than 48 hours after their final upset.
