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.| |Additional information (optional)
