We were very lucky to have two workshops recently. The amazing Animal Workshops Mobile zoo and the Space Dome. The children were able to stroke a variety of animals and we all learnt some lovely facts about them! The children were So good around the animals, remembering to talk quietly and use gentle hands. The Space Dome was so exciting. The inflatable dome made an amazing setting to learn all about the sun, moon and constellations!

Children's Birthdays

We always make all of the children feel special on their birthday!

Families will have differing opinions on sweet treats so if you would like to distribute a small, healthy treat after school, parents and carers can decide if they wish their child to accept. A great way to mark your child’s birthday is to choose a book to give to the class however, there is no expectation for families to do anything.

Please ensure your child brings their school bookbag to school every day (not a rucksack please).
We provide milk, fresh water and fruit every day.
Please ensure all bags, coats, uniforms, spare clothes and shoes are labelled with your child's name.
Please bring a water bottle to school each day.
All children should bring in a change of clothes - this also helps in case of any toilet accidents. We encourage all the children to get involved with whatever activities they choose - this can sometimes be very messy. Our day also includes outdoor play so children may get wet.

Phonics, Reading and Maths:

We teach phonics with 'Little Wandle' Letters and Sounds Revised programme with a focus on developing children's concentration, speaking, and listening skills.

Literacy skills are encouraged by sharing stories, poems, and nursery rhymes.

Phonics and Early Reading Policy

Reading with your child is a great way to bond with them and this will have a huge impact on their learning and development. At Cavendish Nursery, we pride ourselves on providing children with the opportunity to have a wide range of books in both indoor and outdoor environments.
