‘EVERYONE matters, EVERYONE achieves.’
St George’s C of E Primary School runs its own teacher-led nursery on the school site and this is separate to Little Dragons which is not run by the school but is on the school site (see below). Our own school nursery is very much part of the school with the same standards, ethos, values and culture. This includes the same school uniform. Children can start with us in the term after they are 3 years old.
In Nursery, we use Tapestry to share information with parents and carers about what their children are learning in class. Tapestry is a secure online Learning Journal to record photos, observations and comments, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, to build up a record of your child’s experiences during their time with us. Tapestry provides each individual child with their own Learning Journal held online.
We operate a flexible system for parents to choose times during the week that suit them. The different time slots we offer are as follows:
- All morning sessions (08.30am-11.30am)
- All afternoon sessions (12.20pm-3.20pm)
- 2 full days and an extra half day. Full days are 08.30am-2.30pm. We can have children straight through until the end of the school day at 3.20pm if you wish, however there will be an additional £3.50 charge per day for this.
(Invoices will be sent to the given home address for you to pay for this.)
- We are also able to provide 30 hour places for a limited number of children and can provide lunch for those who require them (lunches are paid for by parents/carers) .
Parents can register their child for our Nursery with the school office by filling out an application form. The nursery teacher will contact parents by letter closer to the start date, asking if they still require a nursery place. Full details will be available when we confirm a child’s place.
Little Dragons
Little Dragons, a private provision on the school site, take children from 2 years old for preschool/childcare. Little Dragons has established links to local child-minding networks who can provide childcare from 0 to 5. After School care is on the school site with the Big Dragons After School Club.
The Little Dragons website is available here with more information.
Please note, Little Dragons & Big Dragons are not run by St George’s C of E Primary School.
