St. George's School
Nursery
Duckings 🪿
Here at St. George’s, we are proud to offer a wonderful Nursery setting where every child is valued and nurtured.
We believe that children learn best when they feel happy, secure, and cared for, so strong relationships—both with their peers and the adults in the setting—are at the heart of everything we do.
During these vital Early Years, the most important areas of learning are Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Social and Emotional Development.
-
Communication and Language – developing the ability to express needs, wants, thoughts, and feelings.
-
Physical Development – building the strength, coordination, and independence to explore and take care of themselves.
-
Social and Emotional Development – growing the confidence and emotional intelligence to work well with others and form positive relationships.
Our Nursery is a fun, exciting, and stimulating place where play is purposeful and learning happens naturally. It is filled with the laughter, curiosity, and chatter of happy children with whom we are privileged to spend our days..

This provides the children with a unique experience of handling something with a different weight and texture than they are used to. It teaches them to treat resources with care and to use a gentle touch. Activities like this also support language development, as a wide vocabulary grows from a wide range of experiences.
The children have also been busy drawing pictures of their families and painting tigers, bringing our classroom walls to life with their wonderful ideas, creativity, and developing skills.
We have started exploring our mud area too. The children are learning the routine of putting on their wellie boots before play and remembering to change back into their shoes when they’ve finished.
Over the past few weeks, we have learnt several fun songs, including The
