Cheadle Catholic Infant School

NURSERY PROSPECTUS 2023 24

Cheadle Catholic Nursery is a really special place to be.

During their time with us your child will learn to listen well, take part in conversations, become independent, become resilient, become confident to try new things, share, take turns and above all we hope that they will learn to love school and education.

Our Nursery is where we lay the foundations for future learning and we will do this in partnership with you.

Our Nursery are very much part of our school family and take part in whole school assemblies, sport’s events etc.

At Cheadle Catholic Infant School we truly believe in the following quotation from the DfE and we ensure that our provision reflects it’s message.

‘Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experience between birth and age 5 has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in it’s own right and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.’

Forest Schools

All of the children in Nursery take part in Forest Schools weekly.

Forest School is an inspirational process that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands- on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a specialised learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.

At Cheadle Catholic Infant School, our Forest School provision provides nurturing, positive outdoor learning experiences to support our children’s wellbeing and personal development. Children learn about the natural environment, how to handle risks and how to use their own initiative to solve problems and co-operate with others. Children participating in Forest School have the opportunity to explore, play, learn boundaries of behaviour and develop life-long skills such a confidence, resilience, independence and motivation, whilst making links to the curriculum.
