“We have continued to endeavour to continue with our work in the area of Speech, Language and Literacy development with our pre-schoolers – we want to address this area to improve positive outcomes for our children in the future as they transition into Primary Education. To this end in 2020/21 the Nursery have purchased an outdoor (wooden) reading shelter which we will name the ‘Book Nook’.

We are very excited because there will be a book shelf for the display of books plus a bench for children to sit on to listen to stories and it will be situated in amongst our trees in the wooded area – very conducive to quiet reading time!”
