Welcome

Hello and welcome to St Joseph's Nursery! 

We hope you and your child will be very happy here. Our aim is to help your child prepare for the world of education, and we truly value your support and collaboration, as no one knows your child as well as you do.

If there is ever anything you would like to discuss, please feel free to talk to us. One of us is always available at the start or end of each session, so please don’t hesitate to speak to us.

Collection

If you are not collecting your child yourself please inform us or the office of the change and provide us with the name of the contact so we can inform your child and reassure them if necessary.

Absence

If your child is going to be absent please inform our office on: 0208 546 7178.

Visits

If you’d like to spend some time with us to see what we get up to during a session, please just ask. We’re always happy to share our learning with our families, but it works best if we limit the number of visitors at a time.

Uniform

Please click here for uniform requirements. 

Please ensure all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name, as unlabelled clothing is hard to return, especially on PE days.

Expectations, Motto, and Prayers

Our class expectations are that we use our:

• kind hands
• kind feet
• kind words

Our motto (chosen by the children) is "sharing is caring"

Our prayers are:

God made the Earth, and God made the sky,

God made the fish and the birds that fly,

God made the flowers and God made the trees,

God made EVERYTHING and God made ME!

Amen.

and

Oh my God I give to you, 

All that I think and say and do.

All my words and my happy play,

I will give to God today.

Amen.

If you would like more information please let us know.

Reading and Book Bags

We love to encourage children to develop a lifelong love for reading! Each Friday, children are welcome to choose a book from our nursery library to take home and enjoy. Please return the book by the following Thursday so they can exchange it for a new one.

We encourage families to read together every evening, so children can share their favourite stories with us and their friends.

Our nursery has a wide variety of books available, including bilingual stories. If you would like a bilingual book, please let us know and we will do our best to find one that’s suitable.
