Overview of provision Little Chicks Nursery Pius is open to nursery pupils between the ages of 3-4years, registered to attend the Early Years unit at Gwersyllt Community Primary School, Wrexham. Little Chicks operates during school term time, Monday —Friday 11:20— |
|||
| 14r50 | ||||
| Children are supervised by qualified, experienced staff. |
||||
| Little Chicks is a predominantly English medium setting with some use of |
||||
| Welsh. | ||||
| A wide range ofactivities are offered within a fun, relaxed atmosphere. | ||||
| They are planned to suit the children's age, stage and individual need, |
||||
| meet our aims and objectives, and reflect Welsh Government current |
||||
| strategy www. wales, ov.uk/children oun eo le/. |
||||
| Children are encouraged to explore and learn through their play and |
||||
| small focus tasks. Daily activities include sand, water, small world, |
||||
| painting, role play and craft. Each week activities are planned around |
a | |||
| different topic. Some ofthe favourites are Dinosaur week, Chinese New |
||||
| Year, Exploring the North Pole and Minibeasts. | ||||
| Outside play is always encouraged when weather permits and there is |
||||
| direct access to an enclosed playground. |
||||
| At lunchtime, children can either bring a packed lunch from home or |
||||
| purchase a school dinner. A mid-afternoon drink and snack are provided |
||||
| as part ofthe healthy eating initiative. |
||||
| Little Chicks works with the support of Early Years Wales to invest in our |
||||
| staff's commitment to their continuous provisional development through |
||||
| reliably endorsed courses, events and training pathways, and |
||||
| parents/carers are kept informed ofthese. |
||||
| Little Chicks has produced a pack of policies and procedures that |
||||
| describe arrangements for dealing with routine operational practice, |
||||
| complaints, concerns and any emergency that may occur during |
||||
| operational hours. They are designed to ensure effective and safe |
||||
| management of our service and to offer the best possible environment |
||||
| and experience for the children and families who use it. The policies and |
||||
| procedures are developed and maintained in line with and/or exceed |
||||
| national minimum standards and regulations. They are reviewed regularly |
||||
| (at least annually) and updated (and CIW informed of any changes) as |
||||
| necessary. The policy pack is available for all who visit, work in or use |
||||
| Little Chicks to see them. The pack is available from the setting. |
||||
| Communicating with our parents/carers |
||||
| Little Chicks maintains a website with up-to-date information |
||||
| The Facebook page continues to be used by staff to share the upcoming |
||||
| topics to be covered, photos ofthe activities being undertaken and also |
||||
| links to other sites that support other learning activities for parents/carers |
||||
| to try at home. It is great to receive instant feedback via the comments on the posts from the parents. Many parents use the Facebook Messenger |
||||
| as a way to contact the staff as an alternative to the mobile number. |
||||
| We also continue to promote Little Chicks and the upcoming topics via |
||||
| the school e-newsletter that is distributed by email every Friday during |
||||
| the school term. | ||||
| This year we also added a link on the Gwersyllt C.P. School blog so | ||||
| parents could navigate straight to the Little Chicks webpage from the |
||||
| school site and also added a new Notice Board on the school yard for | ||||
| parents and carers to access all important information throughout the |
||||
| school year. |
