Pre-Prep & Nursery Curriculum Nursery Years
Nursery Years
Clayesmore Nursery is a colourful, stimulating place which radiates warmth and care. Experienced staff support and extend each child’s development through a carefully planned curriculum, based on the Early Years Foundation Stage. We ensure that we include all of the pupils whatever their individual needs.
All children bring different skills and experiences to Clayesmore and each child’s uniqueness is celebrated, developing and channelling strengths and supporting difficulties.
Development is observed and assessed and different ways of learning are recognised. Our commitment is based on the right of every child to grow up safe, healthy, having fun and achieving. We want them to make a positive contribution to the community that is recognised and celebrated. We value respect and encourage a positive partnership with families.
The children in Clayesmore Nursery enjoy a huge variety of experiences with the Nursery staff and specialist subject teachers. Apart from their everyday nursery based activities the outdoor environment is used extensively. They have the opportunity to develop water safety and confidence during swimming sessions. They practice early games skills developing special awareness, control and co-ordination and basic motor skills during P.E. In music sessions they will develop an understanding of rhythm, singing, playing, listening and creating music.
We aim to make the start of their school life fun, exciting and stimulating, sending them on their way with a positive learning attitude, a sense of achievement and a thirst to learn more.
