What is Offered

Age groups Looks after children aged between 2 years 0 months and 4 years 11 months
Funding available 2, 3, 4, Offers Extended Entitlement (30 hours)
Here at Thornhill we offer nursery provision for children from 2 years of age. We offer 15 and 30-hours funded childcare plus additional paid places. Most of the children’s time in Nursery is spent engaging in child-led learning, where the children have access to all areas of the classroom, both inside and outside and are able to follow their own interests. The adults support the children’s development by joining them in their play. The children are provided with free milk and fruit and we come together for snack time each day, which is a chance to have a chat as a group. Occasionally, we will have a special snack linked to our learning, like pancakes or hot chocolate! We also use this time to teach maths skills, such as counting, comparing, and number recognition. Within nursery we introduce daily phonics sessions, following the Read Write Inc. Phonics Scheme. There is a strong emphasis in Nursery on Phase One phonics, which teaches the children to listen carefully and distinguish between different sounds in order to prepare them for reading. We play lots of fun and practical games and activities to support this.
Wheelchair Access Caters for wheelchairs.
Special Needs Caters for children with special needs.
