Welcome to Early Years
We would like to take the opportunity to welcome you all to the Early Years! We are looking forward to working together so that we can have a very exciting and productive year. We hope that your children enjoy the new challenges and approaches to learning that Early Years has to offer!
Early Years is comprised of two Year Groups – Nursery and Reception. Our Early Years Foundation Stage Unit is overseen by Mrs Crossman, our Head of Early Years.
Mrs Crossman
Our Nursery has two classes, Apple Class (Morning Nursery) and Pear Class (Afternoon Nursery).
Our Nursery teacher is Mrs O'Neill Feeney.
Our Reception has two classes: Cherry Class and Plum Class.
Our teachers are Mrs Ali in Cherry class and Mrs Hixon in Plum class.
We are very lucky to have several Teaching Assistants in Early Years who support the children with their learning.
