Caterpillars and Butterflies (Nursery)

Welcome to Caterpillars and Butterflies

Our teacher is Miss Clough, who is accompanied by Mrs Pedersen-Wylie and Mrs McNally.

We like to explore and have fun.

Information for Nursery Class parents and carers about the structure of the school day and staffing. If you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s class teacher.
Click on the link below to access it or should you require a paper version then just ask at the office.

Please remember to…

  • Name all of your child’s clothes, shoes and any items that they bring into Nursey.
  • Drop off and collect your child on time.
  • Encourage your child to look in their tray for pictures, letters, jumpers and models.
  • Hand lunch time cover money in every Monday in a named envelope (30 hour children).
  • Resist the temptation to do everything for your child and encourage them to try and do it for themselves. E.G. dressing and toileting.
  • Remember that no worry is too small, if you are concerned about your child please let us know so that we can help.
