Welcome to Abbey Hulton Nursery.

Below is a summary of our nursery day alongside some information and links that you may find useful.

During our day we provide a range of learning activities, in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. These activities are based upon fun and exciting topics and link with the children’s own interests. Children have the opportunity to engage in baking, painting, music and PE as well as have visits from the local library.

We aim to develop and nurture a love of reading in our children and therefore we have a daily story session. These times are great opportunities for children to take time to sit, listen and enjoy stories together. We also run a weekly story session for parents and carers, where you are encouraged to come and listen to a story with your child and their teacher. This is a lovely session for you and your little one to spend to some extra time together.

We teach a daily maths lesson, where children learn to count confidently and develop a sound understanding of what numbers represent. We use the Ten Town maths scheme alongside Purple Mash to support and enhance learning as well as provide lots of hands on practical activities. Purple Mash can also be used at home and a login will be provided for each child.

Children will also begin to develop their phonics skills through a taught daily session, where we focus on Phase 1, before gradually building up to Phase 2 and the first six sounds of s a t p i n. Each phonics session uses songs, rhymes and games to make learning engaging and enjoyable.
