At Central High Nursery, we provide a secure and happy atmosphere where girls will gain confidence in both social and learning skills. Girls make discoveries, question outcomes and broaden their knowledge mainly through play situations. They are encouraged to develop independence whilst learning how to relate to others in group situations so that they will progress happily onto the next stages in their education.
The Nursery is situated at our West Avenue site. It is accommodated in a spacious ground floor area with direct access to an enclosed outside play area. The rooms are modern and airy and are arranged into small activity areas or bays, to encourage group or independent play by the children. Activities on offer include art & craft, water and sand play, role play and music. The computers in the nursery are well used. In addition to the structured play activities, planned topics, which take into account the girls' interests and experiences, are used to develop early reading/writing/mathematical skills. We also arrange visits to places of local interest, our other school sites and theatres, to stimulate interest in topics and help the children gain confidence in new situations.
The Nursery is located close to the Reception classes and some activities are undertaken by the two groups jointly such as Christmas parties, assemblies and visits. This enables the girls to widen their friendship groups, familiarise themselves with the school layout and get to know other members of staff, all of which help to make the transfer into the Reception classes, a happy and relaxed occasion. The ratio of staff to children in our nursery department is extremely good. We have a full time qualified teacher assisted by fully trained early years nursery nurses. Girls are admitted in the September following their 3rd birthday. However, entry may be available at other times. If you would like a copy of our latest Prospectus or would like to visit the Nursery please contact admissions.
