Wycliffe's Nursery is now able to take children from two to four + years and follows the Foundation Stage Early Learning Goals by learning through play. A new topic is covered each term through play, music, art, discussion, exploration and child led activities. Topics include 'Out and About', 'Colour', 'My favourite rhymes', 'At the seaside', 'All about Me' etc. There are two arranged PE sessions each week, and one dance session.

The Lower Nursery aims to encourage independence & teaches increased language & counting and skills. In the Upper Nursery children start on number concepts, shapes, phonics, sequencing and pre-reading skills. We encourage The Upper Nursery to have strong links with the Reception class, with the Reception teacher getting involved at several levels with the younger children and getting to know them.
