Squirrels Pre-Nursery
Please see the prospectus for all the information you need. Just click here!
Squirrels Pre-Nursery is open Monday to Friday during term time.
We work on a ratio of 1:8 in Little Oaks and 1:4 in Acorns. All our staff are fully qualified and experienced who work together to provide a homely, secure atmosphere in which the children can learn in confidence.
We have the facility to take 24 children at any one time and run two sessions per day 8:30 - 11:30 am and 12:30 - 3:30 pm.
Acorns
Summer One 2021
We hope that you had a lovely Easter break. We are delighted to welcome all of our new children and parents.
Our initial priority will be to settle the new children into Acorns and to help our older children to adapt to making new friends and establish our routine. If you are unsure of your child’s key worker please see the list on the notice board in the cloakroom area or ask a member of staff. We are always happy to talk to parents at the beginning or end of each session.
Our main topic for this half term will be ‘Fairytales’. We will be reading lots of fairytales together as well as other topic related activities across the curriculum.
Our topic planning is displayed in the cloakroom area and is always subject to amendment as we try to follow the children’s interests. If you have any suggestions for our planning please speak to a member of staff.
Thank you for your continued support.
