Welcome to Nursery

Learning through play, each and every day...

A very warm welcome to Collingwood Nursery!  We pride ourselves on offering an enriched curriculum where the children are encouraged to be inquisitive about the world around them.

        

         

 

At Collingwood, we firmly believe that the Early Years are crucial in forming the secure foundations for lifelong learning. Our Nursery children are encouraged to develop as individuals, think big and look far.

Within Nursery, every child has access to an enriched curriculum, which is tailored to suit the varied needs of each child. The children have a wide range of  adult-led activities and child-led play opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, to ensure our children receive a wide and varied range of learning experiences. Activities and learning experiences are carefully planned to ensure children build knowledge  across the seven areas of learning. 

Nursery initially focus on the three prime areas of learning:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Physical Development
• Communication and Language

And beginning to develop skills within the four specific areas of learning :

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

    

     

We believe every child is unique and continuously strive to develop resilient, confident and capable learners. Focus on developing positive relationships helps our children become strong and independent. Well considered enabling environments are crucial in the development of each child alongside the strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers.
