Home Learning
At Cippenham Nursery School, we understand the need to continually deliver high quality education, whether it be for an individual child or many. We recognise the significance of maintaining high expectations in all areas of school life and ensuring that all children have access to the learning resources and support they need to achieve and thrive. Home learning will provide opportunities to learn through play using everyday resources, reflecting the practice within the continuous provision at Nursery. Play is the best way for children to learn during their time at home. As your child’s first and most enduring educator, your communication and interactions with them will help them succeed and feel secure during these uncertain times.
Your Involvement with your Child's Education
We work to the Curriculum for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). It states ‘Parents are children’s first and most enduring educators, when parents and practitioners work together in early years settings, the results have a positive impact on the child’s development and learning’. We aim to share children’s development with their parents and wish this to be a two way process. We will therefore be asking you to tell us about your child and asking you to come to the Nursery to find out all about us. The personal development and well-being of the children is the highest priority in the school.
Self Help Skills
Help your child to be independent in dressing, washing and going to the toilet. Encourage your child to talk with you and try to answer all their questions.
Library
We encourage parents to join their local library and support their children with choosing books to enjoy. Other facilities include borrowing CDs, DVDs, magazines and internet access. There are also various classes available for parents and groups for children, such as Story and Music times. The Nursery loan Story Sacks and Language Bags according to children's needs. We occasionally invite the Library staff to visit the Nursery. Please click on the link for further information http://www.slough.gov.uk/libraries
Children should not bring their own toys or games to Nursery and any wheeled toys ridden to school should be locked in the cycle shelter. The equipment is here for everyone to share and care for, ‘their special toys’ are not.
