At Little Crackers the welcoming and bright Nursery rooms are filled with stimulating activities to see, feel and hear. Little hands can busy themselves with the sand and water, budding artists have ample opportunity to get creative and imaginations are fuelled in the role-play and reading areas.

Pre-writing skills are introduced in the graphics area and the development of mathematical concepts is encouraged through practical activities, such as woodwork.

Outside, the covered learning environment with its play equipment and array of trikes and ride-on toys makes for a noisy and energetic experience, whatever the weather.

Nursery numbers are limited so that each child gets plenty of attention from our friendly and experienced staff, with appropriate staff to children ratios.

Nursery children involve themselves fully in school life, whether having lunch in the dining room,  or joining the older children at a Celebration Assembly. When the time comes, moving on to ‘big school’ is a natural and comfortable progression.

Pupils from Nursery are normally considered for entry into Reception, where they are usually joined by children who have not previously attended the school.
