Nursery 2025 - 2026
Mrs Plowright
Welcome to our Nursery Class Page
Looking Ahead to the Summer Half Term
'Our Roots and Our Homes'
This half term in Nursery, as the children move into their final term, our focus is on celebrating each child as a unique individual while continuing to build their confidence within the Nursery environment. Now familiar with routines and adults, the children are increasingly independent, showing resilience and determination as they engage in play, explore new challenges, and form strong friendships. Building positive relationships with the children, and with you as parents, remains at the heart of what we do, as these secure connections form the foundation for all future learning.
We continue to ensure that our Enabling Nursery Environment, both inside and out, provides a sense of safety, comfort, and curiosity. The children are confident to explore, make choices, and enjoy new experiences, knowing they are supported and nurtured. Gentle routines and structure help them understand what comes next in their day and feel fully settled in Nursery life.
This half term, as part of our Enhanced Curriculum, we will be exploring the theme of 'Our Roots and Our Homes’, where Nursery children will explore a sense of belonging through learning about their families, traditions, and homes. Stories such as Me on a Map and Peepo! will support understanding of place and the past, while The Three Little Pigs will inspire hands-on building and play. Learning will be enriched through creative activities, and through Handa’s Surprise, children will make simple comparisons between their own lives and life in Kenya, fostering curiosity about the wider world.
We are so excited to continue to build upon this learning journey with your children and to ensure that their first experiences in Nursery are positive, nurturing and full of curiosity.
