Little Acorns Nursery

Little Acorns Nursery (3 to 4 year olds)

Our Little Acorns Nursery at Cobbs Brow School provides high quality care and education for children primarily below statutory school age. We work in partnership with parents to help children to learn and develop where we promote equality and value diversity.

Physical Environment
Little Acorns Nursery is a safe, secure and spacious room. Children have access to outside provision which provides a wide range of stimulating and fun activities for the children to access. The environment and atmosphere at ‘Cobbs Brow Little Acorns’ is welcoming and friendly.

Key persons and your child
The setting is led by a fully qualified teacher who is supported by experienced nursery practitioners. The nursery has a key person system. This means that each member of staff has a group of children for whom she/he is particularly responsible. Your child’s key person will be the person who works with you to make sure that what we provide is right for your child’s particular needs and interests.

Nursery’s activities and routines
In our setting we place equal importance on care and education within the experience which we offer children. The routines and activities that make up the session in Cobbs Brow Tiny Acorns Nursery are provided in ways that:
• help each child to feel that she/he is a valued member of Cobbs Brow Tiny Acorns Nursery;
• ensure the safety of each child;
• help children to gain from the social experience of being part of a group; and
• provide children with opportunities to learn and help them to value learning.

We follow The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum for children birth to five years. Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by our setting helps children to continue to do this by providing children with interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.

The EYFS curriculum guidance divides children’s learning and development into the prime areas:

personal, social and emotional development
communication and language
physical development

and the 4 specific areas:

literacy
mathematics
understanding the world
expressive art and design
