An important part of the transition into school for your child is helping them to become familiar with the adults that will be working with them and beginning to learn their names and recognise their faces. To support your child with this here are our teaching team sharing some of their favourite stories for you to enjoy. Starting school often brings with it lots of big feelings and these stories by Tom Percival area great way to support children to understand and manage their emotions.

We believe that it is really important that you know as much information as possible about what and how your child will be learning during their time in our Early Years unit. We will deliver a paperwork packet to you when we come for our Door Step Visit in September which will contain a paper copy of our 'New to...' booklet for you to read. It is important that you spend time going through the booklet as it contains all the information you will need ready for your child to start with us. We have attached both booklets below in case you would like to read them before you get your paperwork packet. Simply click on the appropriate image below to access the booklet:
