Between the ages of two and four, pupils are cared for in Brackenfield Nursery. They feel secure and valued in a happy, stimulating environment where the foundations are laid for the rest of their education.
Brackenfield Nursery is split into Wrens class (for 2 â 3-year-olds) and Robins class (for 3 â 4-year-olds). In the afternoon, both classes join for mixed activities.
There is a busy yet relaxed atmosphere, and the carefully structured programme encourages:
·
We suggest starting your child with a minimum of 3 sessions to help them settle more quickly into nursery life.
The classrooms are bright, cheerful and always full of fun! The children quickly relax, make friends and thoroughly enjoy their days. There is plenty of time for everyone to participate in the wide range of activities we offerâboth indoors and outdoors.
Children who join Brackenfield Nursery are soon happy and confident in their new surroundings and rapidly become integrated into the Brackenfield School family.
We invite all children wishing to join Brackenfield to spend a day at the school. This allows them to meet some current pupils and to experience life at Brackenfield for themselves. These Taster Days also enable staff to become acquainted with pupils prior to admission to the school.
