Exceptional Nursery education

Our Nursery class provides education in a caring and happy environment. In Spring 2021, we opened a new Nursery building in the Junior School grounds, complete with exciting play areas and an eco-friendly green roof.

Qualified and experienced teachers and Nursery assistants work with the children as they explore, discover, and learn.

 

 

The busy, exciting and varied programme also includes specialist Music, Modern Foreign Languages, Dance and PE sessions, along with weekly swimming lessons in the school pool, again taken by specialist teachers.

Our staff enjoy positive relationships with children and parents as we work together to deliver the best possible care and education. We encourage a close liaison between parents and staff as this is essential to creating a happy and secure environment. Parents are always welcome to come and see the children in action and there are plenty of opportunities to be involved in Nursery activities.

Contact the Head’s PA Andrea Mariet on marieta@stockportgrammar.co.uk or 0161 419 2405 to make an appointment to be shown around our school.

Nursery Life

Through fun daily activities, we help children grow in all areas—social skills, early language and maths, awareness of the world, and physical and creative abilities. With generous staff ratios, we can give each child personal attention. Our Learning Development Coordinator and School Nurses are also available to offer support and care.

We build confidence and self-esteem in a secure and stimulating environment through structured activities and purposeful play. Our Nursery activities are enriched by exploring the local surroundings. Children learn about the wider world while enjoying the extensive school grounds, visiting the library, and using the sports hall and swimming pool.

Lunch is prepared on-site by our catering team. In the morning, we provide milk and fruit, and in the afternoon, fruit juice and a biscuit.

First Steps on the Learning Journey

Our Nursery class helps the children settle into school life, providing them with diverse and exciting experiences to enhance their all-round physical, intellectual, social and emotional development.

Reception staff work closely with the Nursery team to monitor each child’s progress and plan carefully for a smooth transition into Reception and beyond.

Children quickly become familiar with key staff members by attending Infant assemblies and spending time with the Reception children in their classrooms. Wearing the simple school uniform also helps them feel part of our school.

Most importantly, we want children to be happy and excited to come to Nursery. We invite you to visit and discover how our Nursery gives your child the best start toward independent learning.
