Nelson Academy Nursery Prospectus

As with the rest of the academy, the nursery takes a topic-based learning approach, as well as following a child’s own interests. There are weekly challenges for you to enjoy working on at home and we share our plans with you via a weekly newsletter. Our newsletters also have information about future events you can be involved with, such as stay and play sessions and trips around the local area. Every half- term we have a story café, which you can attend, listen to a story and enjoy some activities with the children. Nursery children quickly become familiar with the wider academy environment through physical education sessions in the hall and joint activities with the reception classes. They also attend weekly whole academy assemblies, and even perform their own assembly for parents and other pupils to watch. We are lucky to have access to the playground and wildlife areas too. The learning environment is bright, spacious and full of carefully planned learning opportunities to support all areas of young children’s development. Our outdoor space benefits from a large covered area so children can learn outside whatever the weather. Children also get together for a short activity on the carpet and for a story or singing before they go home. nursery 2017.indd 4 10/05/2017 08:48
