At home time parents may enter through the front door of the Nursery Unit.

Starting Nursery

If you are starting Donacloney Nursery this is where you will find out all about it.

  If your child is starting Nursery this year please take time to share this section of our Nursery class page with your child.  It will help them become familiar with the staff, areas of play and activities on offer.

The Nursery teachers are Mrs Castles and Mrs Burrows and the Nursery Assistant is Mrs Keery.  

Mrs Castles, Mrs Burrows and Mrs Keery will play with you and help you to learn new things.

You will do self-registration and hang your coat up on your own coat peg.  You can keep your wellie boots in Nursery and you will need them when you play outside.
You can play at our different play areas.
When you are hungry you can wash your hands and have a healthy snack.  You can have milk or water to drink at Nursery.
You can use the bathroom whenever you need to and there are little toilets and sinks which are easy for you to use.
You can choose to go out to play.  There are so many things to do outside!
Mrs Castles reads a story in the Quiet Room after tidy up time.  It is fun doing rhymes and songs too.
Everyone sits together at Dinner Time.
