At St Minver Nursery we are proud to provide high-quality school-based provision in a caring and stimulating environment. We provide nursery sessions for children aged 3-4 years.
We offer an option of morning only sessions or all-day sessions or a combination of both, depending on place availability, to maximise your child's learning opportunity to grow and develop in a playful school-based learning environment. Attending a school-based nursery bridges the gap between a pre-school setting and school and has been proven to aid smoother transition and better outcomes for pupils.
School-based provision includes a more structured approach to teaching Phonics, Maths and Topic related knowledge and understanding alongside helping the children to develop the necessary skills and characteristics to be an enthusiastic and active learner. Our provision and learning environment is planned effectively to ensure that the children can experience the best quality pre-school learning in order to promote school readiness.
We offer an engaging open plan classroom which supports all areas of the Early Years curriculum. Our classroom areas are set out with high-quality resources that promote exploration, communication, story-telling and creativity. Part of our large outdoor area is fully enclosed and partially covered to allow access whatever the weather, ensuring that all children get the opportunities for outdoor learning during their sessions in Cowrie Class. We also have 'The Science Garden' and our 'Mud Kitchen Garden Cafe' enhancing our outdoor learning opportunities through a forest school inspired curriculum.
'Be brave, be kind, belong' is our school motto and is at the core of everything we do. Our whole school team work together to ensure that we take responsibility for our learning behaviours and how we treat others. Characteristics such as resilience, determination, bravery, inspiration, kindness, equality and respect are built upon and celebrated at every opportunity.
