Our Nursery Team

Primi Passi Nursery Team is responsible for developing and implementing work schemes and lesson plans in line with the requirements of the Foundation Stage. This involves organising and developing the nursery learning environment and resources in order to facilitate learning.

Early years teachers foster the understanding, social and communication skills of the children. They develop and maintain relationships with parents/guardians to further support pupils. Early years teachers record observations and summarise the children's achievements. They focus on optimum child development and preparation for a successful transition to primary school education.

Typical work activities

Early years teachers teach all areas of the Foundation Stage, which focus on helping the children to achieve Early Learning Goals. Typical activities include:

• motivating and stimulating the children's learning abilities, often using play activities;
• interacting with and supporting children, providing them with a secure environment to learn;
• devising and producing visual aids and teaching resources;
• organising learning materials and resources, and making imaginative use of resources;
• assisting with the development of children's personal/social and language abilities;
• supporting the development of children's basic skills, including physical co-ordination, speech and communication;
• encouraging children's mathematical and creative development through stories, songs, games, drawing and imaginative play;
• developing children's curiosity and knowledge;
• working with others to plan and coordinate work;
• sharing knowledge gained with other practitioners and parents;
• observing, assessing and recording each child's progress;
• attending in-service training;
• ensuring the health and safety of children and staff is maintained during all activities, both inside and outside the nursery/school;
• keeping up to date with changes in the curriculum and developments in best practice.

At Primi Passi we choose our teachers for their ability to provide the optimum care and dedication to your child to the exact standard you would expect as a parent.

All teachers are CRB checked upon joining the Company. (CRB = Criminal Records Bureau).

Primi Passi Nursery School is regulated by OFSTED.
