Useful Information

In our setting we have Mr Leaman and Mrs Bennett. Mr Leaman is our Lead Pre-school practitioner who is supported by Miss Carder, our Reception & Year 1 class teacher to ensure that our children receive the best possible early education experiences and learning. 
 
If you would like to know how you can support your child at home, please read the document below. 
 
Your child will need a packed lunch (if staying for afternoon session and not having school lunch) and a full change of clothing.
 
We have free fruit or vegetables and milk available to the children daily. Your child will need to bring a water bottle into school every day as we encourage them to drink water in order to keep them hydrated and support their learning.
 
Toilet training can difficult for some children, so we like to work hard with parents/carers to help all children become independent with toileting. However, if children are not toilet trained we have a changing area which can be used for children in nappies. Nappies and wet wipes must be supplied.
 
Tapestry is the online platform that we use in Pre-school and Reception. It is where we share the learning and activities your child is doing at school so please check Tapestry regularly and add observations of your own. These can be important occasions, fun days out and any learning they do at home.
Here is a gallery showing pictures of our lovely Pre-school provision at First Steps. When your little one joins us, you will be given a login to Tapestry. On this, you will see photographs and comments on everything they have been learning!
