Barn Owls

Between the ages of approximately 3 and 4 years old children progress into our Barn Owl Nursery.

Within our Barn Owl Nursery our children are offered a curriculum which is designed to provide them with a structured platform to build upon when commencing school. Our aim is to work very closely with all of the local Infant Schools and, during the summer term, we invite all of the relevant Reception Class Teachers into our Nursery in order that they can observe our children within their own familiar surroundings.

Our Barn owl nursery is divided into two separate areas.

Main Nursery

Our main Barn Owl classroom offers our children a craft area with sand and water table top activities and an extensive role play imaginative play area. Our sand and water area offers dry and wet sand alongside various resources. Our extensive imaginative area offers versatile furniture that can be adapted to become anything the children’s imagination will let it be. The role play area is arranged in an accessible way to encourage our children to explore and handle resources whilst put in believable places. We have the luxury of having a separate toilet and sink area which is accessed directly from both rooms to encourage independent skills.

Curriculum Room/School readiness area

Our curriculum room is situated adjacent to our main Barn Owl nursery and offers the children a completely new environment.

Within our curriculum room we offer our children with the opportunity to join in with group time at the start of each session and story time at the end. We also offer our children with the opportunity to access information technology which is in the form of children’s specific fire tablets. These can be accessed on our IT table area or can easily be transported to the comfy cushion area within our curriculum room.

Our curriculum room also offers our Barn Owl children the opportunity to read from a selection of age appropriate books. Our book area contains floor cushions where children can snuggle with a friend or a staff member and look at books within a calm environment.
