Nursery 2023 - 2024

Welcome to Nursery

We can welcome children into the Hatton Hill School Nursery the term after they turn three. If we do not have places or you would like your child to attend nursery prior to this, the Hatton Hill Childcare Partnership, offers places for children from the age of two. Together we can help children develop and thrive. For more details, please visit: https://firststepsenterprise.co.uk/childcare/hattonhill-litherland-nursery/

We want your child to have happy first experiences of school so that we instill a love of learning from the onset. There is lots of information below which will enable you to support your child's learning both at home and in school.  Also, look out for your special invites to join us in the classroom at points throughout the year.

Nursery Curriculum Overview

Please see below an overview of our exciting learning journey in Reception. A clearer copy can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

Reading for Pleasure

At Hatton Hill we place a high priority on encouraging children to read for pleasure. Reading for pleasure (this means reading with free will and for the pure joy of it) will help your child suceed in school and in life. Children who are keen readers don’t only get better at reading and writing, they develop wider vocabulary and broader knowledge about the world. Reading can also make a significant contribution to the wellbeing of every individual.

This clip explains why it is important to read with your child:

This clip gives you 10 things to think about while you are reading which will help our child develop a love of reading:

Here is a short film made by The Open University which is designed to support you in sharing books with your child(ren). Conversationally, enjoyably, and effectively, Book Chat develops children's language, comprehension, and pleasure. Please take the time to watch this clip as it will help you help your child enter the fascinating world of reading!

Please find below further information about reading for pleasure as well as the year group photo galleries and calendars. Also, more information about the curriculum and a parents' guide to the EYFS.
