We Love Our New Nursery
It’s amazing what removing a wall and adding a lick of paint can do to a Nursery. We are thrilled with the work that has been done to improve our learning environment for the children. They are having lots of fun playing in it and we are already seeing a difference in the way the children are using the workshop areas, learning and looking after things. They also love their outdoor shelter and their new sandpit and mud kitchen.
What the children say...
RJ- Age 3- “It’s big!”
Azelia- Age 3 "I feel happy."
Heidi Age 3- I like the carpet. I like sitting on the butterfly”
River Age 3- “Roll on my new rug!”
Isabelle age 3- "I like playing outside."
Ellison Age 3- “Its clean and has lots of toys”
What the staff say...
Miss Woodward- “The children are calmer and so much more focussed. A much better place to learn”
Mrs Macarron- “I actually jumped about and cried when I saw it. It is going to make such a difference to us all. Already the children are using the classroom in a different way and there is so much less mess.
Miss Archer- "It's brighter, more soacious and a nicer place to work with the children."
Miss Morrell-"We have more areas for the children to learn in and they are using them more than before.

Emma Craine- Parent Governor ''An amazing transformation, more space ,more resources, more potential to teach little minds"
