Tots Academy

Tots Academy has the reputation of being a happy and friendly environment in which young children can thrive.
We oer a wide range of activities to allow children the best possible start to their pre-school years by striking the right balance between care, learning and play.
We work in partnership with parents to ensure that children have a happy and successful time at Nursery.
This prospectus will give you a glimpse of nursery life; a personal visit will enable you to see and experience far more.
Through our early learning curriculum, the children are provided with opportunities that help each individual child to grow emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually.
Recent research indicates that children not receiving quality early years education before starting school at 4+ can nd themselves over a year behind children who have, particularly in reading and numeracy.
Tots Academy is built for the comfort, safety and enjoyment of the children.
Health and tness are an important element of the Nursery curriculum.
Held in the Summer Term, Sports Day is always a big attraction, with each child getting to take part in at least two races.
As well as developing the childrens gross motor skills, we also provide daily activities that develop ne motor skills.
Each class has a qualied nursery teacher and a fully trained nursery assistant.
For work and play activities the children are split into a variety of smaller groups so that they get the focussed help and attention they need.
Sta realise that consistency and continuity are essential for a childs progress and security and children therefore remain in the same class throughout their time at nursery.
All children will have the opportunity to work on a one-to-one basis tackling targets which include learning colours, shapes, letter sounds and numbers, as well as mastering pencil control and writing their name.
The Nursery works together with the Parents and through regular consultation evenings, we ensure that the same teaching techniques can be used at home.
Children are introduced to schemes of work appropriate to their own abilities in preparation for the next stage of their education Reception at the age of 4+. Throughout their time in nursery children are regularly observed and assessed which is shared with parents using our online learning journal.
We realise that learning opportunities and new experiences happen both at home and at nursery and therefore encourage parents and carers to contribute to their childs learning journal.
We aim to ensure that when children do start full time schooling at age 4+ they are well ahead of the academic expectations for their age and will continue to forge ahead as they get older.
