Caterpillars and Butterflies
The staff in Caterpillar class are Miss Shaw, Mrs Sharp and Miss Heading. The staff in Butterfly class are Mrs Begley, Mrs Nevard and Miss Cartwright. Mrs Campbell and Mrs Bridges support children who have additional needs. Children in these classes stay for morning or afternoon sessions. All sessions are government funded. Session times are: Mornings: 8.45a.m. - 11.45a.m. Afternoons: 12.30p.m. - 3.30p.m. The children usually start off in our afternoon session where there are less children and they are all the same age. We find that the high number of staff to children in the afternoon sessions really helps the children to settle in quickly. As the children get older they may be offered a morning place. Miss Shaw and Mrs Begley plan for a balance between child-initiated and adult-led play; whole class, small group and individual sessions and indoor and outdoor play. |
Ladybirds
The staff in Ladybirds are Mrs Andrews, Miss Dhenin and Miss Pratt. Children in Ladybirds stay for the whole day. There are two possibilities: Firstly, children are entitled to the government funded 30-hour offer. Secondly, parents and carers can opt to pay for extra hours. Session times are 8.45-3.30p.m. Mrs Andrews plans for a balance between child-initiated and adult-led play; whole class, small group and individual sessions and indoor and outdoor play. |
