Nursery Admissions 

 Please fill in a registration form collected at the school office , or you can request a form via email. We will also need to see your child's birth certificate, as part of the application. Your child will be able to start nursery the term after their third birthday. 

Before your child turns three, you will be invited to attend link up visits, to help us get to know each other, and ensure that our nursery can meet your child’s needs.

The next step is a home visit, when you will be given a nursery start date. Children attending our nursery are required to wear a school uniform. The uniform consists of maroon jogging bottoms, white polo shirt and maroon sweatshirt. It can be purchased from Paul’s Place 272 Stanley Road, Bootle, L20 3ER

Curriculum Information

The Early Years Foundation stage curriculum provides a framework containing 7 areas of learning and a set of  guiding principles. The curriculum as a whole reflects the belief that every child is a unique individual who can learn and develop through positive relationships and enabling environments.

Personal Social  and Emotional Development

Children learn to feel confident in their own strengths and abilities. They learn to manage their feelings and share play with their friends, showing respect and kindness to others.

Communication and Language

The Children have the opportunity to experience a language rich environment to help develop vocabulary and fluency.A child who can speak clearly and confidently will do well in school.

Physical Development

The Children have the opportunity to be active and develop their coordination,control and movement. They are   encouraged to learn vital self-help skills and the importance of healthy lifestyles.

Literacy

The Children take part in story time every day to develop their knowledge and love of books in readiness for learning to read independently. They learn to retell stories and rhymes using actions, props and role play. The children are taught to link sounds and letters using a structured approach proven to be effective in teaching early reading skills. The children will begin to 'write' by making marks that carry meaning.We provide lots of opportunity to develop hand strength and hand/eye coordination. This ensures our children have the physical skills needed to develop their drawing and  writing.

Mathematics 

The children have the opportunity to develop early maths skills in counting,estimating,problem solving and number recognition. They will also learn to describe properties of shapes and patterns.
