St John’s CE Academy
School Day
Nursery
Every day at our nursery is an opportunity for our children to play and learn together!
Every child will be assigned a key worker and a base room. The key worker will build a close relationship with each child and will be in close communication with parents to discuss their development.
Our children will be able to move freely between their classroom and our inspirational outdoor area to continue their learning. Outside they will be able to meet and play with all children that attend the nursery.
Please note that the structure of the Nursery day will be changing from September 2026.

Reception and Year 1
School opens at 8.40. When all children come to school, they will have time to put their things away before starting their morning learning activity. This helps to start the day in a calm, purposeful way and to help consolidate purposeful learning.
Reception has a rolling snack during the course of their afternoon play. This allows children to decide when they are hungry and thirsty. Whereas, Year 1 has a morning snack during their breaktime at 10.30. An adult is available to support and guide when needed.
