Rosstulla Nursery was established in September 2020 to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment for pupils in their pre-school year. We currently offer one morning class, running from 9:00 am to 11:30 am, designed to support early development and learning.

Our dedicated team consists of one teacher and three learning support assistants, ensuring that each child receives individualised attention and encouragement.

Our Approach

At Rosstulla Nursery, we focus on helping children settle into school life, fostering positive relationships with both peers and staff. Pupils gradually adapt to the routines and structure of the classroom while learning at a pace that suits their individual needs.

Communication & Fun

Communication development is at the heart of everything we do. Our staff use visual symbols, Communication Boards and  Makaton to support children in expressing themselves effectively. Most importantly, we believe learning should be fun, filled with joyful and engaging experiences!

A Typical Nursery Session

Each day, pupils take part in a variety of activities designed to nurture physical, cognitive, and social development, including:

• Sensory circuits to enhance physical and sensory regulation skills
• Focus sessions designed for attention and autism support
• Messy play & sensory play for creative exploration
• Storytime, songs, and rhymes to encourage listening skills
• Snack time to foster social interaction and independence
• Outdoor play for physical development and enjoyment
• Relaxation in the sensory room for calming and self-regulation
• Concentration-building and engagement activities such as puzzles and cause and effect toys.

Collaboration with Parents

We strongly believe in working closely with parents and families to support each child's learning journey. Our staff dedicate time to building positive relationships, ensuring a strong partnership between home and school.

We are excited to be part of the Getting Ready to Learn Programme, which encourages collaboration between schools and families to enhance early learning experiences. You can learn more about the programme here https://gettingreadytolearn.co.uk/               .
