Together we belong, together we succeed.
A warm welcome to Nursery at Manor Park.
Our themes and experiences
We have a wonderful year of fun, exploration and discovery ahead, filled with exciting themes and special experiences to help our little learners grow and develop. We will begin with My Wonderful Family, getting to know ourselves and the people who are special to us, before exploring the changing seasons in Autumn. We will enjoy singing, dancing and sharing our favourite songs and stories during Rhyme Time, followed by the magic of Christmas, when we will celebrate together with a special parent event where the children will sing Christmas songs and enjoy some festive crafts. In the new year, we will learn about the important people who help us in People Who Help Us, discover life and animals on the farm in Down on the Farm, and explore the changing world around us in Spring. As we move into summer, we will become little explorers in our In the Garden topic, discovering fascinating minibeasts, before setting off on an adventure in All Aboard topic, learning all about different types of transport. Throughout the year, our topics will provide lots of opportunities for imaginative play, creative activities, singing, storytelling and hands-on learning. We can't wait to watch the children grow in confidence, make new friends and enjoy all the wonderful adventures Nursery has to offer!
Learning in Nursery
In Nursery, our learning is built around the three Prime areas: Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. These important areas form the foundations for all future learning and development. Through a balance of child-led play, adult-guided activities, stories, songs, outdoor exploration and everyday experiences, we provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can develop their confidence, independence, communication skills and relationships with others. We follow the children's interests and encourage curiosity, exploration and a love of learning, ensuring every child feels happy, safe and valued.
