Curriculum Information 

In Autumn term, the children in School Nursery will begin to explore a variety of Nursery Rhymes each week. The children will be learning a variety of skills focusing on prime areas of development which are: Personal social and emotional development (PSED), Communication and Language Development (C&L) and Physical Development (PD). Children will learn through a highly engaging learning environment where children can explore and be creative with their peers and supported by experienced adults. Children will also be developing in other areas of development such as Math’s, Literacy, Understanding of the World and Expressive Arts and Design gaining confidence and independence in their own learning.
