Our Project for the Autumn Term is ‘Nursery rhymes!’
Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight. –

Additional Activities
Zoolabs Workshops
Our children love the opportunity to handle and learn about a whole host of exotic creatures, from the furriest to the slimiest.
Blast Sports Coaching
Our sports coach Scott will be continuing to provide the extremely popular Blast Sports sessions for all of our children.
Song and Dance with Claire
Our fantastic dance teacher Claire provides energetic dance classes on a weekly basis. These classes have already proved to be extremely popular with our children and are excellent for developing self confidence, co-ordination, an early love of music and rhythm.
House of Maths
Barney is proud to present the House Of Maths – exciting shows crammed full of maths and fun enough to be talked about for weeks afterwards.

We are open 48 weeks per year with 2 weeks closure at Christmas and 2 weeks closure in August.
We offer a two-tier system of attendance to cater both for parents seeking Term-time only of 39 weeks p.a. and also for parents requiring Full-time attendance of 48 weeks p.a.
The school also closes for bank holidays.
Hayeswood information
Although we are an independent nursery with strong ties to several of the local area primary schools, many of our children do graduate to Hayeswood 1st School. We have an extremely harmonious relationship with the school who’s reception class teachers visit our school leavers in the nursery during the term before they go on to big school.
Adverse Weather
We have an adverse weather policy in place to ensure our nursery is prepared for all weather conditions that might affect the running of the nursery such as floods and snow.
