The Nursery’s present enrolment is 52 pupils with a staffing that consists of the Principal, 2 Nursery Teachers and 2 full-time Nursery Assistants. Success in a pupil’s educational development, however, is a team effort. It requires the partnership of dedicated and professionally qualified teachers and active and concerned parents – teachers and parents working together for the good of the children.


The Nursery curriculum must create within the school a flexible, developing, learning environment in which the child will actively pursue his/her interests with the guidance and support of adults. Our curriculum must refer to all that happens from day to day, month to month and from term to term at Whitehouse Nursery.

The implications of the above statement are:

  Our curriculum should at all times reflect the aims of our school.
 

Young children must be actively involved in their learning, acting independently in order


to begin to think independently and to this end our curriculum will be delivered through play.
