The First Few Weeks

Starting school for the first time can be a daunting experience for some children, and we work hard to ensure every child has a positive start to their time in our school.   In the first few weeks, we spend time getting to know your child, finding out what they already know, what they can do and what their next steps are.  We also complete some baseline assessments on each child so we can effectively plan ahead for future learning.

We try to give feedback to families as frequently as we can about how their child is settling in and staff will pass on general comments at drop off and collection times, but we do not operate in the same way as a private day nursery, and we are not able to provide detailed daily updates for all children.  We will always speak to parents about incidents or accidents that have happened at school or if we have any concerns.
