Bourne Valley Nursery School

<body> <p>Situated in the village of Winterboure Earls in the English county of Wiltshire, and just a few miles north of Salisbury, the Bourne Valley Nursery School is a pre-school for children from 16 months to school age. For older children we have before school and after school clubs that pick up and drop of kids to their big school. During the holidays we run clubs for children, to help parents who have to work, and for just plain old fun for the kids.</p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%"><font face="Arial" size="5">Bourne Valley Nursery School</font><p> <b><font face="Arial" size="5">Brochure</font></b></p> <ul> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Aims">Our Aims</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#About Us">About Us</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Ages">Age Ranges, times and dates</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Fees">Fees</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Grant">Grant Funding</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Day-Structure">Structure of our day</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Staff">Staff</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Curriculum">Curriculum</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#A-Z">Nursery A-Z</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Enrol">How to Enrol</a></font></li> <li><font face="Arial" size="4"><a href="#Parent-Contract">Parent Contract</a></font></li> </ul> <p> </td> <td width="50%"> </tr> </table> <p align="justify"><a name="Aims"></a><u><b><font size="4" face="Arial">Our Aims</font></b></u></p> <p align="justify"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight:700">The aim of our Nursery is to provide a happy, safe, and stimulating environment in which all children feel secure and valued and where we can all enjoy ourselves and have fun!</span></p><p> <span style="font-family: Arial">We want your children</span></p> <ul> <li> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">to become rounded, balanced individuals with a positive outlook.</span></li> <li> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">to develop a thirst for knowledge and an enthusiasm for learning, believing that if they try they can succeed and reach their potential.</span></li> <li> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">to be confident and independent irrespective of academic ability.</span></li> <li> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">to have a sense of respect for themselves, others and the environment.</span></li> <li> <p align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">to experience equal opportunities regardless of gender, race or ability.</span></li> </ul> <p class="MsoNormal" align="justify"><span style="font-family: Arial">As a team working within a happy family atmosphere, the staff at Bourne Valley Nursery want to ensure that your child grows up with confidence during these early years and develops <b>a natural desire to learn.</b> </span></p> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#111111" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="50%"> <td width="50%"><b><span style="font-family: Arial">We believe in developing the ‘whole child’ where individuals are able to explore, experiment, plan and make decisions for themselves, whilst building on what they already know and can do.

It is important that children establish the muscles in their hands before being taught how to grip a pencil correctly; fine motor activities such as doing up nuts and bolts on construction toys, manipulating play dough, putting pegs in a peg board etc. are essential. Drawing and painting with increasing control will lead to the readiness to write.  Children will learn more easily if they are aware of the logic associated with given tasks, from day one with us they will be gaining an insight to the importance of the spoken and written word.  We have an extensive range of texts available and during the term before they enter school a book bag will be taken home each week which will contain books, objects of interest and pre reading activity.</font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: justify"> <span style="font-family: Arial">A multi-sensory approach is used in the nursery and many children are able to write their name and have a good awareness of the phonetic alphabet before they start ‘Big School’.</span><p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align: justify"> <b><u> <span style="font-family: Arial"><a name="Curriculum-World"></a>World Knowledge.</span></u><span style="font-family: Arial"> </span></b><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"> <span style="font-family: Arial">In order to learn new skills and retain information children need to start at a point within their own experience that they understand and have confidence.
