St Mawes Primary School

The Nursery Day

Sessions times are 8.45 am to 12.00 (or 1.00pm if lunch is requested) and 1.00pm to 3.15pm for afternoon sessions. All day sessions are available.
 
Children enter the school via the top gate on Trelawney Road. A member of staff will be at the gate each morning to greet the children. We encourage children to be independent and enter the classroom with the other children where they will be greeted by an adult. 
 
Children can then be collected at the Reception door. during the school day or from the playground at the end of the day.

We are proud to offer effective school-based provision. School-based provision includes a more structured approach to teaching Phonics, Maths and Topic related learning. Both our morning and afternoon sessions are planned effectively to ensure all children have access to the same learning experiences. 

At the start of the nursery day, your child will be welcomed with a friendly smile and a warm greeting from the team. From the offset, your child will be encouraged and supported by the adults in the setting. We firmly believe that developing positive relationships are paramount in order for your child to thrive within the nursery setting. 

Once inside the nursery, your child will be supported to develop their independence with self-care needs. Your child will have their own peg to keep their personal belongings together and safe. Developing independence and resilience are vital foundations for children in order to be successful life-long learners.

The nursery day consists of some direct teaching staggered throughout the day. Such as, Phonics, Maths and Topic related learning. These provide short, focused direct teaching activities that then link into their self-initiated play.

During continuous provision, your child will be able to explore the wide range of activities and available tools and resources that have been taught and modelled with the children. The activities are planned effectively to cover all areas of the EYFS curriculum through a range of topics

TOILET TRAINING 
 
At St Mawes Nursery, we pride ourselves in supporting children through their toilet training phase. We understand that all children are unique and will learn and develop skills at different times throughout their lives. Therefore, we ensure that every child is supported through these phases effectively.
