Activities for your child will be planned using all of these components. While your child is in nursery, observations and pictures will be taken to track their learning and growth. These will be utilised as part of their learning journey. Registration will begin at the beginning of each Nursery session in a family group. An exercise focused on developing early literacy skills called "Letters and Sounds" will be conducted after this. Additionally, a planned exercise will give your child the chance to advance their knowledge and abilities. This exercise can be carried either indoors or outdoors. Children will get the chance to play outdoors utilising a variety of equipment to help them improve their social and physical abilities. Through the different play activities that are available, your child will also acquire crucial skills. Every child in their family group will receive milk and fruit. Your child will take part in a P.E. lesson in the hallway each week. Each session includes singing and storytime to help participants improve their speaking and listening abilities.
