Name labels in clothing
Please put your child's name in every item of clothing, including PE kits and coats. Many children often have identical items of clothing and without names it is often hard to get them back to their rightful owners.

PLANNING
Our Early Years curriculum is carefully planned to make sure that all children thrive and achieve. There are seven areas of learning and development that must be covered in Early Years settings - Personal, Social and Emotional development, Physical development, Communication and Language development, Literacy development, Mathematics development, Understanding the World and Creative development.

Outdoor learning is part of our curriculum and we go out in all weather conditions - please ensure your child comes to school in a waterproof coat.
