Caterpillar Nursery

At present we offer 15-hour and 30-hour nursery places for children from the age of 3.
Children who aren’t 3 at the start of the new school year (September) can join our nursery the term after they turn 3.

Morning sessions run from 9:00am – 12:00pm

Afternoon sessions run from 12:00pm – 3pm

Our EYFS lead is Mrs Lightowler; she is ably assisted by a number of EYFS trained teaching assistants. Our main Nursery contact is Mrs Crathorne-Jones.

At present, our 30-hour Nursery children join our Reception children for some afternoon sessions. This means that they are able to explore the large outdoor space in Butterfly garden and can develop their gross motor skills through sessions on the bikes, trikes and scooters on our school playground.

The children spend a session a week in our Forest School area. This helps to develop their vocabulary, their problem-solving skills and turn taking through activities such as den building, they learn about plants and animals through minibeast hunts and scavenger challenges and thoroughly enjoy outdoor craft sessions using natural materials.

 You are very welcome to come into school to look around our setting. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit. We look forward to meeting you and to showing you around.
