Life at the Nursery

Life at Nursery is a joyful adventure where every day is filled with discovery, laughter, and learning.
From exploring nature and engaging in creative play, to building friendships and developing new skills, children thrive in a nurturing environment designed to spark curiosity and confidence.
With caring staff, stimulating activities, and a strong sense of community, Sinclair House Nursery life offers the perfect foundation for children to grow, express themselves, and begin their learning journey with wonder.

When children join us at the age of 8 months, they are expected to attend with a minimum of 3 morning sessions. This is in order to ensure continuity and ease the children's settling-in.


Once the children turn 3, they move up into the Upper Nursery 2 class where they attend a minimum of 5 mornings, to ease the transition into "Big School!"


We offer staggered 'settling in' to gradually integrate children into Nursery life, at their own pace.


EXTENDING THE CLASSROOM OUTDOORS
Within the Montessori philosophy, the outdoor environment is a natural extension of the classroom.
Spending time outdoors is essential for children's physical development, emotional well-being, and the development of curiosity and social skills through natural exploration.
Forest School Friday's are a very important part of our curriculum, as it provides all of our children with holistic benefits, fostering their confidence exploring the outdoors.
My Montessori Child
Within the Nursery we use a secure system called 'My Montessori Child' (MMC), and through this system you will recieve daily updates with essential information from your child's day (nappy changes, meals and sleep).
This system is also used to track your child's progress and development through weekly key teacher observations, which are shared with you on a Friday.
