Changes to Nursery sessions for class N1 starting in September 2025 As you may be aware the Government has been increasing entitlement to free nursery funding for more people, and many more parents are now entitled to 15 or 30 hours free nursery funding per week for their 2 year olds. I would like to help parents to be able to use their ‘full’ entitlement, and in order to achieve this we have decided to alter the provision of nursery hours we offer class N1 children starting in September to enable parents to be able to do this. Currently, individual whole day (6 hour) sessions are offered to class N1 pupils. This means that they can only use 12 hours of the 15 provided, unless a payment is made to to up to 3 full days.

The children love playing What's Missing?  This encourages memory skills when they look closely at 6 objects on a tray and try to visualise them when 1 is removed. Objects are moved around into different positions to add challenge and the children have to state which object has been taken away.

As the weather has been so hot this week, we have turned our garden into a water park! All the children put on their swimsuits after they made sure that they had plenty of sun cream on, and had great fun, tipping, pouring, splashing and paddling in containers filled with water.  Let's hope that the sun stays shining!
