Welcome to St Anne’s Nursery
Based within St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, St Anne’s Nursery provides a safe, stimulating and exciting place for your child to learn and thrive. We provide childcare for children aged three and four years old. We are open Monday to Friday, 7.45am – 6.00pm, term time only.
It gives me great pleasure to warmly welcome you to St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, Ormskirk. We are fully committed to providing the best possible Nursery provision for children aged three years and above. We view the Nursery as the first year of our children's foundation to learning. The whole school curriculum begins from when your child enters the Nursery classroom. Children in the Nursery provision have access to not only the excellent facilities in the Nursery classroom, but also access to the excellent facilities across the whole school environment. This helps build and secure the essential foundations for our children's future learning.
St Anne’s mission statement is “Loving God in all we do”. This mission statement extends fully into the daily lives of all who work, play and thrive in our Nursery provision. We firmly believe in trying to provide the best possible education and pastoral support for all our children with the teachings of Jesus Christ at the centre of all we do.
St Anne's Nursery provides a supportive, nurturing, safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and play in. We have a team of four members of staff who have been with the nursery for the past 20 years. Due to our very low staff turnover, our families know all the staff really well and this relationship provides the essential trust, security and familiarity that families wish for.
We have a large bright and spacious classroom to the front of the school with its own outdoor area. The environment reflects our children’s interests and experiences whilst providing stimulating learning opportunities.
Under the school registration, we introduce children to the routine and structure of a school day allowing them to learn, safely and securely, the basics of being in a school environment. Along with the support of our nursery staff, children become confident and comfortable with school life. Children’s transition into reception class is calmer and reassuring due to being used to their environment and routines. Children wear the school uniform to make them feel part of the school family.
Nursery is the starting block for children’s school journey. We follow the EYFS curriculum and work closely with reception class to provide a stimulating, challenging and enjoyable learning journey for our children. We use the Wellcomm speech and language assessment system to support children with their speech and language skills. We have P.E. sessions twice a week to develop children’s physical skills and use of the school grounds for more physical exercise. Nursery joins in school events such as sports day, Breakfast with Santa and assembly.
Every child in nursery has a key person who they will form a close bond with them during their time with us. The child’s key person is the parent contact if you have any questions.
Communication with parents is key to supporting to flourish during their time with us. We have termly parent conversation sessions so you can discuss with your child’s key person their progress. To see what we have been up to during the day we post updates on Twitter. We are always available at drop off and pick up if you have any questions you need to ask us. At the end of the school year we perform an end of term performance for you to come and see.
