My mate, Marmite!
This week, we had our first survey of the year. Throughout the year, the children are posed different questions based on our curriculum, interests expressed by the children… and what we plan to put in our bellies!
Please contact the school office to organise an appointment to visit the nursery. You can pick up an application form when you visit. Our spaces fill up very quickly so it is best to complete an application form as soon as possible.

This week was action packed. Treasure Chest Sessions saw children making predictions from a selection of items…which ones will sink and which ones will float?
This week we have been reading, retelling, performing, watching… and making The Gingerbread Man!
This week a mysterious treasure chest appeared in our reading room.
This week, we welcomed new friends to the THNS community. Our established children stepped up to not just welcome, but support their new friends to separate from their carers and begin to access the wonderful spaces and resources at Thornton Heath Nursery School.
As Autumn begins the children return. Our garden has fared well throughout the summer, a bumper crop of tomatoes and potatoes were in desperate need of harvesting….so
With fish, chickens, snails, foxes and a plethora of mini beasts to care for and observe, we discuss and learn about the natural world throughout the year.
From our future engineers connecting pipes and channelling water, to tomorrow’s hair stylists and visual artists roleplaying, creating and problem solving; the learning opportunities, experiences and role play scenarios which are part and parcel of every nursery session stretch, engage, challenge and develop every child within the nursery community.
Coming to nursery is all about developing, building relationships, pushing our own boundaries…and having lots of fun!
