Nursery Starters - September 2024

Welcome to our school community!

We're delighted to extend our warmest welcome as you embark on your child's educational journey with us. Below, you'll find essential information to guide you through the next steps, including key dates and uniform requirements. Additionally, we've provided details of the NHS HealthChat service offered by the health visiting team (Berkshire nursing team), as well as their March Newsletter, which contains valuable wellbeing guidelines.

We eagerly anticipate welcoming all our new families to school on the 3rd September!

Key Dates

Classroom doors open at 8.40am and all pupils must be in class for 8.50am which is when the register is taken. Please bring your child to Nursery prepared for their day with the knowledge that you will be leaving them. We ask parents to drop their children off at the wooden Nursery gate by the main school office entrance, where staff will be available to welcome your child and settle them into Nursery.

More information can be found in your 'Starter Pack' provided to parents in June.  

Next Steps Check List

For a smooth transition and admissions process, there are a few actions for you to complete before September, but the very first next steps are as follows:

1. Complete the Online Registration Form (link below) - this will enable us to add you and your child's details to our school management system. We appreciate that there is a substantial amount of information to supply; however, it is essential for us to have all the necessary information at hand. The approximate amount of time required to complete the form is 30 minutes. 
2. Supply of Official Documentation - kindly supply us with an original copy of your child’s birth certificate and proof of address from within the last three months. This can include a utility or other bill. Documents can be brought into the office at your earliest convenience, where we will make a copy for our records. 

School Uniform Requirements

At the Parent/Carer Meeting, on the 12th June,  we will have examples of our uniform on display and more information regarding the requirements. In the meantime, please feel free to visit our suppliers below, or read about our uniform requirements and our Uniform Policy on the website.
