Abbey Wood Grange Nursery Pre School News & Events
Whats new ……
At Preschool Nursery Abbey Wood Grange we continually re invest into the nursery. This ensures all the children flourish in a well maintained, well resourced environment.
Fundraising events throughout the year povide us with additional opportunities to purchase specific equipment with 100% of all proceeds raised going towards nursery resources.
Our Lending Library
The introduction of our lending library, located outside on the driveway has encouraged the sharing of books, supported communication and language and made reading accessible for all our families and the wider community.
5 ***** Star Food Hygiene Rating
We are committed to delivering a varied menu which excites and encourages the children to try new flavours and recipes which are packed full of fresh fruits and vegetables.
On the 29th September 2022 we received a visit from Croydon Council, Gareth completed an inspection of our Kitchen and we are pleased to announce that we have been awarded a 5 ***** food hygiene rating.
Our Curriculum
Whilst our Curriculum provides our children the opportunities and experiences to be independent and develop the necessary skills to help them in life and their future education, our resources and practitioner practice has been re designed to evoke curiosity and encourage play.
Our practitioners continually seek to encourage the children’s natural sense of awe and wonder. Practitioners provide both provocations and invitations to play, whilst creating space and places for our children’s emotional well being.
Loose Part Play
Loose part play develops skills across the curriculum. It is child led and helps children strengthen their independence and sense of self. It helps children observe, enquire, investigate, construct, deconstruct and engage with both others and the world around them.
We have created a ‘Loose Part’ resource cupboard, which is stocked with treasures from our charity shop hauls. These every day objects create unique learning opportunities for all.
