Additional Information
Before your child starts Pre-School we invite you to visit and complete a care plan together with your child. This will allow staff to gain knowledge of your child their individual likes/dislikes and what they enjoy doing at home which will help them settle into Pre-school.
Each child has a keyworker within the room and you will be informed of who this is soon after your child starts.
We have half termly parent’s afternoons, where you are invited to come into school and see how your child learns. We will let you know when these are.
We encourage children to have access to water throughout the day as this is proven to increase concentration. Please send your child into Pre-school with a named water bottle as this goes onto our drink station. Squash is not allowed in their drinking bottles.
We do ask that all of your child’s belongings are named such as cardigans/jumpers and coats.
