We have increased numbers of children and have supported 2 children with additional needs to access their nursery education and worked hard to ensure the appropriate support was in place to transition these children into Reception class. Our development focus this year has been to increase our links with our local primary school. We now visit the reception class and the teachers visit our children. We also have use of a school room to take our older children for more focussed activities. We have also refurbed our library area indoors and created a lovely new one outside. We have also developed our links with the community, working with our local church to fundraise for our children and others in the locality. We’ve also asked role models from the community in to talk to the children about their jobs. As a result our children are keen learners and are achieving good learning outcomes. Improving the lifestyles of families in our localities. |
