Nursery - Covent Garden and Hyde Park Corner
COVENT GARDEN AND HYDE PARK CORNER


Welcome to Covent Garden (2-3 year olds) and Hyde Park Corner (3-4 year olds) Nursery 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 children's independence and confidence to choose activities that they wish to do, both in class and in our outside area. We play a variety of games requiring turn-taking, being fair and waiting turns which help us to learn to share and play fairly with others.
Within the nursery years we have a huge focus on developing a child's speech and language. We have daily communication and language and listening and attention activities and whole class carpet sessions. We provide a language rich environment through having key weekly vocabulary, developing questioning, encouraging and modelling correct speech and talking in sentences.
In addition to the above Hyde Park Corner have daily maths and phonic inputs to develop their early reading and maths skills to prepare them for starting reception.
