A Warm Welcome to Prospective Parents 

We are delighted that you are considering Monkwick Infant and Nursery school for your child's educational journey. Choosing the right school is one of the most significant decisions a family makes, and we understand you are looking for a nurturing environment where your child can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Monkwick Infant and Nursery school we believe in cultivating curiosity, fostering resilience, and celebrating every child's unique potential. This is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community where children are inspired daily to become thoughtful, confident, and engaged global citizens.

We are so excited for you and your child to begin your journey with us. Starting school is a big adventure, and we've put a lot of care into creating a Reception area that is not just a place of learning, but a welcoming, safe, and stimulating environment where your child can thrive.

We want both you and your child to feel completely at ease, so please take a moment to explore and get a sense of the wonderful world waiting for them:

• Our Classroom Set-Up: Step inside our classrooms, which are light, airy, and organised into different zones for various activities. You'll find inviting areas for quiet reading, engaging role-play corners, construction areas brimming with blocks, and creative stations for painting and crafts. Every zone is carefully planned to offer hands-on learning experiences and to support your child's development across all areas of the curriculum.

• The Fantastic Outside Area: We believe that learning doesn't just happen indoors! Our dedicated outdoor area is an extension of the classroom and a vital part of the Reception experience. It's a secure, exciting space where your children can run, climb, dig, and explore nature. From sandpits and water trays to climbing frames and mud kitchens, the outdoor area is perfect for big movements, collaborative games, and building essential physical skills.

• Our Toilet Facilities: We understand the importance of helping children develop independence, and this includes using the toilet confidently. Our Reception toilets are easily accessible, child-friendly, bright, and kept spotlessly clean. We work closely with parents to support every child as they become more independent with their personal care routines.

We look forward to partnering with you to make your child's first year of school a happy, successful, and truly memorable one! Please don't hesitate to ask any member of staff if you have any questions at all.
