Developing language and a love of reading
In nursery, our staff use a range of evidence-based techniques that have been shown to develop language through a mix of adult-led teaching, quality interactions and play based activities. We plan much of our teaching around carefully selected texts which ignite children’s curiosity and interests.

Phase 1 Phonics
In Nursery we use the ‘Little Wandle Foundation for Phonics’ scheme.
Why Foundations for Phonics?
Building strong foundations in phonics during nursery lays the groundwork for successful learning in Reception. The Foundations for Phonics program focuses on two key aspects: Rhyme Time and Tuning into Sounds.
Rhyme Time explores the world of nursery rhymes, helping children build a rich vocabulary and understand the sounds in words. This aspect promotes shared language and enhances their understanding of the world around them.
Tuning into Sounds emphasises phonological and phonemic awareness through various games that make learning enjoyable and interactive.
