Routines:
- School starts between 8:45am and 8:55am.Please sign in via the school office if you arrive late.
- School finishes at 3:15pm. Children collected late will be sent to aftercare and parents will incur a charge. Please wait at the Nursery outside classroom for drop off and pick up.
- 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.
