Covent Garden Class

Welcome to Covent Garden Class; where we love to learn through play!

On this web page we will be putting lots of information about all the exciting things we will be doing in our class throughout the year.

Nursery is a very important and exciting time for children and parents. We offer the children lots of opportunities to learn and explore through play within our continually changing provision areas (indoors and outdoors). The children will learn through a mixture of adult led and child initiated learning, both of which are as equally important in a child's development. We will develop our independence and confidence to choose activities that we wish to do, both in class and in our outside area, we will learn to share and play fairly with others.
