Nurseries

• Child- led activities give children choice to explore and play according to their current interests at nursery.
• Adult- led activities are planned to teach the physical, language and personal social emotional skills we want children to learn (Link to Nursery Curriculum)
• Planning for babies is designed to meet their individual eating, sleeping and play routines

Parents/carers have individual, password protected, 24- hour access to their child’s online learning journal.

Staff receive regular mandatory training including safeguarding, first-aid, health and safety and food hygiene.

Partnerships
Every child has a named key-person who helps to settle them into the nursery and who will monitor and record the child’s learning on the two-way on-line communication system. FSN also holds parent/carer consultations each term to discuss each child’s well -being and learning at nursery.  
Each nursery has a named Special Education Needs Coordinator (SENDCO) who works with parent/ carers, the local authority and other professional agencies to support children with additional and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Home- learning linked to the curriculum and activity ideas are shared on the nursery Facebook page.
FSN has a range of other services giving a wider holistic offer for children, young people and families.
