Nursery

Welcome to Nursery Class

Welcome to Nursery class! Our teacher is Miss Begum, who joined the team at Broom Barns in 2025. She has a great love of chocolate!  Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her family.  She doesn’t like insects very much, especially spiders!  She is excited to bring her passions into the classroom and help children learn through stories, play and imagination.

Working alongside Miss Begum are Miss Harris, Miss Hickey, Mrs Parfitt, Miss Adams and Mrs Holloran Brown.  They enjoy working in Nursery and seeing the children’s faces when they do something they didn’t think they could do.

Curriculum

We have an exciting year planned for Nursery children.  This year in Nursery we are going to explore lots of exciting things. Our core books are, ‘The same but different, Dear Zoo and Dear Santa, Owl babies, The Train Ride, Plant the Tiny Seed, and I am so Brave. . We will also be finding out about lots of special days in the year such as Diwali, Christmas and Chinese New Year and the topics that interest and excite the children too.

In Nursery, physical development plays an important part in the new Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework (Government Web Page for EYFS Framework) which details the learning and development for your child from birth to age 5.  At Broom Barns Nursery, each child’s development is supported by high standards of early education and care.  It underpins all future learning by supporting and fostering the children’s personal, social and emotional well-being.  It encourages positive attitudes and disposition towards learning in the children and promotes learning through play.  We adapt learning themes and topics, responding to the children’s needs and interests.  Please take a look at our regular “Nursery News” to update you on this years topics.

Trips etc

In Nursery we plan local trips in response to our class topics and the children’s interests. Past trips have included going to the cinema, going to the Town Gardens, going to the pantomime and finding things in the local woods.

General Information and Expectations

8.55 is the time your child should be in Nursery every day.  Learning is very important please ensure your child is on time.

Children bring home a book to share with parents every Friday.  Please can you read with your child at least 3 times every week.  Rhymes and poems are a powerful learning source in early literacy and enable children to become interested in the rhythm and patterns of language.  Please sing and read rhymes and poems with your children.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to a successful year!
