Welcome to Nursery!

At our Nursery, we aim to provide a safe, caring and friendly environment in which your child can develop and learn with confidence and enjoyment and where each child is valued as a unique individual. We endeavour to cater for the differing needs of each child through building positive relationships with the children and their families and through our engaging provision.

 We are so lucky at St John Vianney to have a purpose-built Nursery which opened in September 2022. We to have not one but four classroom areas: our indoor classroom, our outdoor classroom, our garden area and the purple area which are exciting for the children to use. In addition, we have access to the school's field and hall where we have lots of fun playing games, doing dance, drama, gymnastics and Forest schools. The children in Nursery also have access to their own PE lesson with Mr Chatland our specialist PE Teacher. 

Mrs Drohan Mills is our Nursery teacher and leader of our EYFS team. The children's learning is also supported by Miss Cook and Mrs. Ryan our Senior Early Years Educators. 

We work hard, in partnership with parents, to make sure that every child feels happy and safe in nursery; helping them to be ready to learn, happy and curious about the world around them!  All nursery learning takes place through play-based activities, sometimes adult led and sometimes child-initiated. The activities are based on the needs and interests of each child and planned using the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.

We use Tapestry to keep parents up to date about what is happening in Nursery each day. We share photographs and videos of the children throughout the day and also use the messages to keep in contact with parents about how much their children are enjoying their time with us.
