Arrival and pick-up arrangements for 2020/21.
Due to Covid, parents will not be able to enter the Nursery building. You can access the Nursery by walking up the side of the Nursery Unit through the large gates.
Mrs Castles or Mrs Keery will meet each child at the door as they enter from the outdoor area.
At home time parents should wait outside the Nursery gate. A member of staff will bring the children outside to be picked up.

Time for Gardening

Happy Healthy Kids
Children at Donacloney Nursery have lots of opportunity for physical, energetic play.
Having fun with food
We enjoy cooking, baking and trying new foods. We like to promote healthy eating but there are also opportunities for a tasty treat.
Sometimes we make a big pot of porridge for snack. Not too hot...not too cold... but just right. Just the way Goldilocks likes it!
We always make pancakes on Pancake Day
We find fun ways to use spaghetti.
The Oxford Island Outreach Programme
We learn about Minibeasts.
Debbie Doolittle's Wildlife
At Nursery we learn about animals which live in the wild. Debbie brings some of her animals which she rescues and looks after.
