How can I help at home? 

One of the keyways every parent can help is to ensure that your child is at school every day and on time.  We also encourage the nursery children to be independent when changing shoes – Velcro fastenings enable this, and putting on coats for outdoor learning, please support them at home with their dressing skills.   Other than this, the main way you can help is by making time to read stories and enjoy songs and rhymes every day at home. It is the most effective way of ensuring that your child makes progress in all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Please continue to complete the reading rainbow bookmarks at home! 

Our outdoor learning and gardens are open every day. Please remember a named waterproof coat and wellington boots as we are outside in all weathers exploring the world around us as much as we can.  

Throughout the school year, you will be able to contribute to your child’s learning journal via Parent Share.  You are able to upload photographs and videos of the experiences & learning which takes place at home.
