We believe that children in Nursery and Reception should have a positive start to their school life and we work hard to ensure that this is the case. Nursery and Reception have their own designated outdoor play area and from starting in Packmoor Ormiston Academy children will start to be taught different aspects of literacy and numeracy through a play-based curriculum and you will be helped with ideas regarding how to support to your child at home.
Children visit our school prior to their start and we work hard to ensure that we have all the relevant information about your child in order that they can have the best possible start to school life. Our doors are always open if you wish to talk about your child – we shall be delighted to see you.
Starting nursery is a very important milestone in every child’s life. As a parent/carer, you have an important role to play in helping your child take the first steps on their learning journey. We are keen to work with you to make sure that starting nursery is a positive experience for your child, and to help your child achieve their full potential in a warm and caring environment.
