Learning and caring together

Nursery

Welcome to Handale Nursery. We aim to create a welcoming and secure environment in which your child will have the opportunity to grow as an individual and become an independent learner. We encourage an active partnership between all our parents/carers and Nursery.   We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage and believe that children learn through play. Our nursery environment is set up to support this. Throughout the session children will have the opportunity to play in both our indoor and outdoor environments. During your child’s time in nursery, staff will record learning and progress through our planning and assessment. We document successful learning, linked to our curriculum in our Early Years Books. These are shared with you regularly but are also available to see on request should you wish. We encourage that you as the parent/carer add to your children’s Early Years Books.
