Welcome to Little Oaks Nursery Class

Welcome to Little Oaks Nursery, this is a very exciting journey for you and your child as they grow and learn. To embrace the early learning of all children, activities are planned around their needs and interests. We believe in following their lead whilst moving their learning forward.

Assembly - The nursery children also attend and take part in the ‘Celebration Assembly’ on a Friday morning with the whole school.

P.E – The children will be using the main hall to take part in different physical activities. Children will be required to remove shoes, socks and jumpers to take part. It is important you encourage your child at home to be as independent as possible.

Food and Drink – Children should bring a small healthy snack with them to eat at snack time. Please note we are a NUT FREE SCHOOL. Milk and water are provided throughout the day for children. Drinks bottles should be clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Uniform – Children are required to wear uniform as we feel this prepares the children for school and makes them look smart. This also saves us ruining their lovely clothes when we are getting messy! Uniform is available from Nursery however we have limited sizes, please ask a member of staff.

Policies – We have numerous policies relating to your child’s safety and education. The policies used for nursery are the same as the main school and these can be found on the website:

Website – Please keep a look out for important dates and information on our website. We send letters out to notify parents but if these are mislaid then please refer to our website, this may have the information you are looking for, if not then please speak to a member of staff.

Tapestry – Tapestry is an online learning journey where we record your child’s progress and what they have been doing at nursery. A letter has been sent out requesting your details to set an account up to allow you to access this, please return this as soon as possible.

Toileting – If your child is still in nappies please provide nappies and wipes to enable us to change them. If your child is toilet training we are happy to support you with this, spare clothes are essential just in case they have an accident.

Outdoors - The children are free to access outdoors at all times, rain or shine! Please provide your child with the appropriate clothing and footwear. We request all children have a pair of wellies within nursery at all times. If it is hot please ensure your child has a sun hat and sun cream. If it is cold please provide a warm coat, gloves, hat and scarf.
