Welcome to Palmers Cross Nursery!
We hope you all had a lovely Christmas break spent with your family. A special welcome to the new children that will be joining us this term.
A reminder that our Nursery sessions run at the following times:
AM Nursery 8:45am-11:45am (doors open 8:30am)
PM Nursery 12:30pm-3:15pm
30-hour provision 8:30am-3:15pm (Packed lunch needed)
As always, the children in nursery will have opportunities to consolidate and extend their learning though a mix of adult led and child-initiated sessions indoors and outdoors, so please ensure that your child has a pair of wellington boots to keep in Nursery, and an appropriate waterproof coat.
The spring term will begin with our new topic ‘Let’s Play’, where we will be learning about toys. After half term, we will then move onto the topic ‘Jurassic Park’.
During the spring term, we will additionally be learning about celebrations including Chinese New Year, Mother’s Day, and Easter, whilst also acknowledging patron saints of the UK.
Children will be able to wear their own clothes for school. However, we would like your child to wear a yellow, early years, polo shirt each day in order to identify them as one of our pupils. These polo shirts can be ordered from the school office, along with an optional jumper for the colder months. We do recommend that you send your child to nursery in clothes suitable for play.
PE will continue to take place on Mondays and Friday, but on occasions, we may take part in additional lessons linked to our learning. Please ensure your child has a PE kit to keep in Nursery each day. We will send PE kits home at the end of the spring term for cleaning.
If you do have any queries or concerns regarding your child’s nursery place, please feel free to contact us; we are only too happy to help.
We look forward to sharing our fun-filled nursery experience with you and your child.
Kind regards,
Mrs Harper and the Early Years Team
