Welcome

 

Thank you for your interest in Little Tommy’s Nursery. Each child in our care is valued and loved as a child of God. We equally value parents and carers as their child’s first educators and will work closely with you to help them settle and learn.

Our setting is run by qualified teachers and teaching assistants who are passionate about caring for young children and their development. The philosophy of the setting is to provide a continuous, free-flow provision where every child feels safe and happy. We aim for children to become confident, self-motivated, independent and happy learners through their play and to make good progress in the early years curriculum. Activities and experiences are planned around the children’s interests and level of development, as we appreciate that every child is unique.

The Nursery has its own classroom, as well as a second room that they can access with the Reception children if they choose. We have a large outside garden with a climbing frame, mud kitchen, bike track, raised beds and a large wooden playhouse.  Our setup provides an excellent transition into Reception when the time comes.

For further details about our timetable and ethos, please see the Nursery prospectus.

NB Nursery children are 3-4 years old and can start with us at Little Tommy’s in the term after their third birthday. Reception children are 4-5 years old. If a child turns five in the school year from September-July, this is their Reception year.
