Foundation – Nursery
Foundation Stage Staff:
At Carrington Primary School, we have a Foundation Stage Unit where Nursery and Reception children play and work together. Children learn through a mix of adult-led and child-initiated activities. These include some whole class (carpet time) and group activities as well as activities that have been set up for children to complete independently. The learning environment is arranged in zones that include a mark-making area, a workshop and a Maths area. However, children can move resources from one area to another in order to complete activities. Throughout the day there are times when children have access to outdoor learning such as water play, sand play and building with large construction equipment.
We offer free fifteen hour placements, morning or afternoon, or full school day places for parents who can claim 30 hour vouchers or pay for the extra hours.
