My staff and I would like to extend a very warm welcome to Coles Nursery School.
The Nursery was opened in 1991 and is situated in the grounds of a seventeenth century farmhouse. Coles Nursery School has received the West Sussex Quality Award which recognises the quality of care and good practise in the Nursery and the dedicated work of the staff.
A typical session at the Nursery will offer a wide range of play, exploration and learning experiences for the children including; painting, craft, cooking, sand and water play, role play, singing, music and movement, free play games and story telling and many other activities incorporating the six areas of learning within the Early Years Foundation Stage. All activities and opportunities are planned and designed to include the childrens interests and their next steps of development.

Ensuring that your child is happy and comfortable in our Nursery is paramount, Each child is individual and we work very hard to make yourself and your child as at home as possible. We encourage all families to visit a few times with their child before they start and will design each setting in session to suit the child's individual needs. It may take a few short sessions before a child is settled and ready to attend the required times.
It is quite normal for some children to become upset when they are left for the first few times. In our years of experience we find that a quick departure is most beneficial for your child to settle faster or explaining that you are just popping out to the shops and then you will be back. Our staff are caring and loving and will do everything they can to the transition as calm and happy as we can. Parents are encouraged to telephone us regularly to check how their child is settling in.
The children are encouraged to leave their toys at home so as to reduce the risk of an item being misplaced at Nursery. Although comforters or a favourite toy may be brought and placed in our small going home box or in their bag. Please label your children's clothes, coats, toys and lunch boxes to ensure that they are returned to the right family.Children are not to bring jewellery, money or other valuable items to Nursery.
Packed lunches must be labelled with your child's name and provided for children who attend all day. We ask that these do not contain sweets or fizzy drinks.
Children in nappies are checked and changed regularly throughout the day. We ask families to provide their children's nappies, wipes and several changes of clothes for the children who are currently potty training.
