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.

Library Day- Wednesday

Bedtime Story Box- Monday

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.

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

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.
