Nursery 2018 - 2019

Welcome to Nursery

At St Matthew’s we run an Early Years Unit which consists of Nursery and Reception. We cater for children aged 3-5. The Early Years Unit is a fully integrated part of the school with a well-equipped indoor and outdoor space, which now includes a brand new climbing frame that the children can use from Monday 14th January 2019. 

Children move through the Foundation Stage curriculum at their own pace with Reception children, receiving ongoing support if needed, and Nursery age children progressing through to later stages, if they are ready. The children benefit from working and playing alongside each other with groupings being more flexible to benefit each child.

Early Years staff provide opportunities that are challenging whilst they also meet individual needs. Children have familiar routines and work with the same team of familiar adults each day and because of this staff will know the children and their families very well, making it easier to cater for their needs.

Please have a look at 'What To Expect And When' which gives you lots of information about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years.

You will be able to find information about school trips, useful websites, holiday dates and any other exciting events coming up this term here, so make sure to check back regularly.
