AM/PM ACORNS - Mrs Roberts
Our Class Charter
In our Lower Foundation Stage we have up to 26 children in two sessions; one in the morning from 8:30-11:30am and the afternoon session from 12:15-3:15pm.
On top of the 15 universal hours available to all nursery children, extended entitlement is also available to working parents who meet eligibility criteria and allows an additional 15 hours of free entitlement to be claimed on top of the universal 15 hours. If you would like a child place for 30 hours, please contact the office for more information.
Please ensure your child arrives promptly at Nursery to ensure they are present for registration and ready to start learning. If for any reason your child arrives after this time, please go to the school office. If you will be late to pick up your child at home time, please contact the school office to inform them as soon as possible. For safety reasons, children need to be collected by a known adult, so if someone new is collecting your child, please inform a member of staff.
The staff members are Mrs R Roberts the Class Teacher, and Mrs J Davys the Nursery Nurse.
Our children learn through exploring, investigating and finding out throughout their play. In Foundation Stage, we plan exciting learning opportunities both in the indoor and outdoor environment. Our provision areas include; sand, water, role play, maths, writing, small world, reading and malleable.
Throughout the Nursery session we have structured time which includes adult-led and child- led learning. This structure includes daily phonics, maths, literacy and continuous provision. During continuous provision, staff work with the children to achieve objectives that are focused and unique to each child.
Whilst your child is on their exciting journey through Lower Foundation Stage they will be developing their self-help skills and independence. You can help them with this by encouraging them to:
- Be independent at going to the toilet
- Put on their own coats and zip them up
- Put on their own shoes/wellies
- Find their own coat, bag and accessories such as hats, gloves and water bottles
- Recognise their name
Every child has a named coat peg and they are encouraged to place their belongings on their peg independently. From a safeguarding perspective, we kindly ask that parents refrain from entering the cloakroom at drop off/pick up.
The children are encouraged throughout the day to drink water to ensure they are well hydrated. Please send your child to school with a named water bottle.
Please note these should not be filled with juice/flavoured water.
Uniform
Although uniform is not compulsory in Lower Foundation Stage, we do however encourage school uniform to be worn in the setting. Please adhere to our school uniform policy for more information.
In Foundation Stage your child will need appropriate clothing all year round for outdoor play. In winter, please make sure you send your child to school with a waterproof coat, hat, scarves and gloves.
In summer, please send your child with a sun hat and with their sun cream having already been applied at home.
It is a good idea to send a pair of wellies to school with your child for all year round as we will use them daily when playing on the grass, in the mud kitchen and for water play.
Please remember to label ALL items of clothing and shoes as this will help return lost property as soon as possible.
If your child is going to require spare clothes please put them in a named bag. If your child requires help with toileting please inform Mrs Roberts or Mrs Davys.
Reading
Every child receives a book bag when they attend Nursery. We politely ask that these are brought daily for their pictures and information letters.
Every Friday your child will choose a book to share with their family and will have the opportunity to take this home for the week. We kindly ask that these books are returned every Friday in their book bags please.
Polite notice:
Please could parents/children refrain from placing water bottles inside their book bags as reading books are likely to get water damage and these are costly to replace. Thank you.
Learning Journey
The Foundation stage staff continually observe the children in the setting and celebrate their wonderful progress. We share this progress on the Evidence Me app. Please ensure school have an up to date email address for you to receive these updates. We hope you look forward to seeing what they have been up to!
We hope your child enjoys their time in Lower Foundation Stage. If you have any concerns or queries, please don’t hesitate to speak to a member of staff in the Foundation Stage Unit.
