Welcome to Bumblebees Class 

Here is a list of current practitioners in the room: 

In our classroom we have children aged between 3 and 4 who are able to focus on all 7 areas of learning through both adult led activities and child initiated learning. The children are working towards becoming independent, happy and secure within their environment and learning.

All staff are available at the start and end of children’s session to talk to and discuss any requirements.

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.

Remember to send in 50p per week tuck money. This can be done weekly or termly.

We do ask that all of your child’s belongings are named such as cardigans/jumpers and coats.
