Hello and welcome to Nursery. We are so excited to be sharing in your very first experience of school and just know we are going to have lots of fun together. This year we will learn about numbers and words through stories, songs and rhymes. We know you will make many new friends, playing together in our lovely classroom and outside area. We even have our own woodland space where we will be exploring nature and looking for creatures big and small! Don’t forget your wellies!

Meet your teachers

Mrs Bonnington

Hello, I’m Mrs Bonnington and I am so happy to be learning with you over the next year. I have been a teacher for many years. When I am not at school I love to spend time with my family. I have twin daugheters called Hope and Ava as well as a little black dog called Mabel. We love to explore the countryside together. Another of my favourite things is Art and my house is full of lots of paintings I have collected over the years. I can’t wait to watch you grow this year, I just know we are going to have so much fun.
