Nursery

Cherry - Mrs Goodall

Welcome to Nursery

Mrs Goodall, Mrs Patrick and Mrs Broughton are here to welcome all parents and children to Netherfield Nursery. We love being part of your learning journey!

Uniform

Each day your child will need to wear school uniform. They will also need suitable clothing to access our outdoor provision. We got out in ALL weathers!

Our clothes might sometimes get dirty but this shows that we have been learning through play.

Reading

Please make sure your child brings their book bag everyday. We will put their pieces of art in it to keep them safe on the journey home. On a Monday, Wednesday and Friday they will choose a book to bring home to share with you.​​​​​​​

Reminder

Please can you make sure their name is on all uniform and clothing, including coats and shoes, as we have found some clothes which unfortunately do not have names in and they all look the same!

Song of the week

Each week the children learn a new nursery rhyme. It has been proven that when children hear and sing nursery rhymes, lullabies and simple songs, then we are preparing their ear, voice and brain for language development.
