Welcome to our web page.  We are delighted that you have found us! On our web page you will be able to find out about the exciting things happening in our nursery.

 

We have a morning nursery class and an afternoon nursery class both of 30 pupils. We can accept applications from parents as soon as their child reaches their second birthday, although no child may be admitted to nursery class until they have reached their third birthday.

Our nursery staff are:

 

     Mrs Pedersen            Mrs Ferguson              Mrs Dignan                 Miss Hannah            Miss Burgess       

 

 

The Nursery is staffed at all times by one teacher and two nursery nurses. Our nursery teacher is Joan Dignan. Nursery nurses Janis Pedersen and Louise Ferguson work mornings. Nursery nurses Nicola Hannah and Linsey Burgess work afternoons.

 

Our morning session times are Monday to Friday 8.55am to 11.30am

 

Our afternoon session times are Monday to Friday 12.25pm to 3.00pm

 

We aim to:-

• provide a high standard of education and care
• provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment
•  create opportunities for learning through play
• provide professional and highly motivated staff
•  encourage positive attitudes to self and others, promoting equality and fairness
• develop confidence and self esteem in each child
•  encourage independence
• stimulate interest and imagination
•  encourage the children to communicate ideas and feelings
  
• develop awareness of the wider world, and their impact on it
• work in close partnership with parents

Please note that we have been asked by the Education Authority to stress the fact that because a child is enrolled in our Nursery Class does not guarantee that child a place in our Primary 1 class.  We are also required to inform parents that the Education Authority does not support the attendance of individual children at more than one nursery school or class. Although parents may apply for a nursery placement in more than one establishment, attendance will be restricted to one establishment only.
