Nursery

Cherry - Mrs Goodall

Welcome to Cherry Tree Class (Nursery)

Mrs Goodall and Mrs Buck are the nursery staff and we are here to welcome all parents and children to Netherfield Nursery. 

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

Your child needs to bring their book bag every day, but please make sure they bring it especially on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday so they can take a book home to share with you.

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.
