St Luke’s C.E. Primary School are responsible for our own admissions into nursery. We are delighted to be able to offer 60 places to 3 and 4 year olds in our nursery class. Children will use the 15 hours free entitlement in a morning nursery session running Monday – Friday from 8:50am – 11:50am or in the afternoon nursery session running Monday-Friday 12:15pm-3:15pm. We also offer flexible use of the 15 hours for those families who wish to group their child's place into 2 and a half full days (all day Monday, all day Tuesday and a Wednesday morning or Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday and all day Friday)

We run 2 classes of children who receive the 15hours free funding.

The morning nursery class starts at 8:50/9:00am and ends at 11:50/12:00pm.

The afternoon nursery class starts at 12:15/12:25pm and ends at 3:15/3:25pm.

We provide full time places for those receiving the 30hours free funding or to those who wish to pay to top-up to a full time placement.

The children who attend our school nursery are required to wear a full St. Luke's uniform and to follow the school's uniform policy. A book bag is required but a P.E. kit is not.

The children in nursery receive a home-school book in which Mrs Fisher will set suggested activities that you can complete at home with your child to consolidate or further their learning. In place of this there may be useful information for parents and carers .

Each Monday the books are collected in and returned on a Thursday.

Each week Mrs Fisher will also sent home a different library book for parents and carers to share with their child at home. Adults are encouraged to make notes and ask comprehension questions about the text.

Dough Disco fun.

Here are 7 great ways to learn at home!!

Sharing books and stories - telling stories and talking about pictures in books helps children to learn and understand new words and also develop a love of reading.
Singing songs and rhymes - singing songs and rhymes together teaches children to predict language structures and develops their vocabulary.

Playing with letters and sounds - playing games with the shapes and sounds of letters is a fun way of introducing children to language and early reading.

Setting up a play date - babies and young children learn through play. Playing together helps children develop the skills they need to communicate well and socialise, especially when they start going to nursery and school.

Getting out and about - when you go out for a walk or you’re at the supermarket, help children to spot and recognise the signs and words around them. This encourages talk.

Painting and drawing - making marks and scribbles with a lots of different materials allows children to express themselves, helps their muscles develop and supports early writing.
