WELCOME TO NURSERY

If you are looking for high quality nursery provision led by highly experienced teaching staff. then please take a moment to look around our Nursery pages and find out more about our safe,  nurturing and stimulating learning environment which offers every child the best start on their academic journey. 

Our Nursery is part of the school's Early Years Foundation Stage Unit, working closely with the Reception class in planning and providing exciting learning opportunities for children in their early years, and the strength of our Unit was noted and commended in our most recent school Ofsted inspection. Our highly qualified teaching staff are leaders in early years education in Trafford and always strive to deliver innovative and exciting teaching and learning experiences for the children in their care. 

We provide daily part-time or full-time early years provision for children aged 3-4 years old and are open to applications from families within Trafford and beyond. Our accessible and dedicated nursery space has been carefully designed to provide a variety of valuable learning opportunities to meet the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Every child matters and every child is at the centre of all that we do. 

We invite you to take a look at our gallery and virtual tour video and please do contact us at the school if you would like to know more.

2022-23

 Welcome to St Anne's Nursery! 

We are looking forward to enjoying so many memorable learning experiences together in our Nursery. 

Our Nursery Team is Mrs Peacock (Class Teacher) with Mrs Palmer (Teaching Assistant, all week). 

We thought we'd take this opportunity to share some useful notes about the day to day running of the Nursery: 

• Remember to bring a coat everyday as we love our outdoor learning. As we head into autumn and the weather changes, letters will be sent home shortly about further outdoor clothing needed for our mud kitchen play area.   
• Please ensure your child has a spare change of clothing in school everyday.  
• All clothing should be clearly named to help us return it to its owner at the end of the day.   
• Please look out for the update emails sent from Evidence Me. This is a great way to get information about what your child has been learning with us during the week: it's a wonderful window into their world.  
• We shall be changing Library Books on a FRIDAY. Please make sure your child has a book bag on this day and their book is returned to school each week.   
• Remember to take a look at the Weekly Information Sheet sent to parents/carers weekly via Weduc email. This also contains details of extra activity ideas to try together at home and we always look forward to hearing all about it in class. 

Weekly Information Sheet

Working in partnership with parents/carers is essential to our practice in the St Anne's Nursery. Here is a sample of one of our Weekly Information Sheets as sent directly to parents/carers each week in order to provide further information about the learning taking place in the Nursery each week.  

Together with our whole school, we will be learning about our school value of Inspire whilst exploring the Learning Challenge Question for the Spring 2 term: Which stories inspire me? and here is our Knowledge Mat detailing how we plan to explore the answers to this question. For further information about our Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, please visit our Curriculum Pages.

Maths Guidance

Maths teaching and learning in Nursery is play based. Children will explore numbers in their environment and practise using the number names in play.   What can you find to count at home?
