Learning together is fun at Bearwood School Nursery

Our Nursery day

The Nursery morning is a balance of adult led learning opportunities and children’s choice of play activities.

Adult led activities take advantage of our well resourced school and can take place in the classroom, outdoor learning area, computer suite, music room, library or cooking area.

We assess your child’s progress continuously, keeping written observations, photos and examples of their work in Learning Logs to share and discuss with you. We welcome parental input and provide regular opportunities for you and your child to discuss and comment on their progress.
