Nursery
Durning's Ducklings Nursery
Our nursery offers 30 hours free early education and childcare hours in our special nursery classroom. Children may start our nursery at the start of the next term after they have turned three. Nursery care is available from Monday to Friday from 8.50am to 3.30pm. Mrs Whitfield runs our Early Years Provision and Mrs Blaney is the Nursery lead.
The curriculum and learning activities we provide are carefully matched to each child's level of learning and needs. Each child has their own Class Dojo account, which is a record of their achievements, fun, special moments and experiences.
Our nursery curriculum is carefully planned to ensure we have clear stepping stones from the nursery to our reception year. A range of activities and learning opportunities are planned for the children.
Throughout the morning, the children are provided with a healthy snack and get to play outside daily on the school field and outdoor play equipment, in the Early Years school garden or in the construction area.
We believe that 'Ducklings' is the perfect way to introduce your child slowly to school, enabling the transition from nursery school environment to school environment an easy and natural one.
