Welcome to Preschool- Puffins Class
It is led by Miss Randall and Miss Hull
Puffins Preschool is our bright, newly fitted learning space designed to gently bridge the gap between our 2‑year‑old Ducklings room and the Wrens room, which supports children in the year before they start school.
This thoughtfully designed environment offers the perfect balance of comfort, curiosity and early independence. Children in Puffins enjoy rich, play‑based experiences that help them grow in confidence, develop key skills and prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
With inviting areas for exploration, creativity and early learning, Puffins Preschool provides a nurturing step forward as children move through our setting and begin to flourish as capable, enthusiastic learners.

Learning Powers
The children can earn points for using their learning powers. These include:
Busy Bee power- given for active learning, such as being focused.
Unicorn powers are given for playing and exploring, using a 'can do' approach.
Magnifying powers are given for creating and thinking critically, such as using learning walls independently to further own learning.
Early Reading
In Puffins we also have daily Phonics sessions. We love it when Flump joins us and challenges us to a game. We have to practise our good sitting, good listening and good looking when learning with Flump. Our activities are based on Phase 1 phonics.
We also have group reading sessions where the children get to share a book with an adult in Nursery. Not only is it a great time for them to enjoy a a book, but we also teach some of the early skills needed to read a book.
Your child will start Nursery with a reading diary. Every week they get to choose a book and a reading buddy (soft toy) to take home and share with you. When at home we would like you to share a story at least 3 times a week and sign in their diary, we would also love a little comment on what you did, maybe their favourite part or what they said. Those children that read 3 times a week get to move up the solar system in the rocket and be in the chance to win a prize!
