…for our children, the very best learning takes place when our parents and nursery work closely together.

At South Normanton Nursery School we endeavour to support our families in any way that we can. We have a vision that every child reaches their potential and aims high and the very best way to do this is by working closely together to support learning.

We know that children learn in lots of different ways and they are learning all the time…especially through play. Every conversation, experience, sight, sound or problem can be a valuable learning opportunity for your child so seize every moment to do, talk, think, question, explain, explore and experiment…and enjoy helping you child learn more about the world!

Below we have shared a number of useful resources which can be accessed at any time. These provide some great, fun ideas to help you to support your child’s learning. 

Learning Support: for if your child is not in Nursery

If your child is not attending nursery at any time due to self-isolating or in the event that nursery is closed, then we have provided additional activities to support you with their learning at home. Remember, your child is still young and they will learn better through play and practical activities.  

Although these activities were produced during lockdown, they are a great resources that can be used with your child at at any time 

Below are a copy of these tasks and links for you to access.
