Caterpillar Nursery
If you have a child turning 3 and are interested in joining our Caterpillar Nursery, please follow this link to the ‘New Starters’ page
Welcome to Caterpillar Nursery!
This half term our new topic is called 'Once upon a time'. This will focus on traditional tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and The Enormous Turnip. The children will be encouraged to join in with story telling and our activities across our nursery provision will be focused around our 'book of the week'. We will also be continuing our daily number, story, singing and rhyming sessions and we will be beginning to come across to the school hall to take part in PE.
We are really looking forward to continuing to work with you and your children and as always if you have any questions, concerns or queries please do not hesitate in contacting a member of the Nursery team.
As always, thank you for your continued support.

Library Visits
We are pleased to share that on the first Monday of every month (bank holiday dependent) Caterpillar Nursery will be visiting the library in the village to take part in a story, singing and rhyme session with the library staff and then to have time to independently access the books. This is a great opportunity for the children to develop their literacy and early phonics skills whilst promoting a love of reading. The arranged dates for the visits are as follows:
9th January
6th February
6th March
17th April
15th May
12th June
3rd July
In order for the visits to go ahead we do need parent helpers so if you are able to assist then please let a member of the Nursery Team know.
Forest School
We are very pleased to share that every Thursday morning the Caterpillar Nursery children will be taking part in a forest school session in our school nature garden with a specialist forest school leader. These sessions are a great opportunity for your child to develop their independence, confidence and problem-solving skills whilst exploring the outdoors.
The sessions will include activities such as den building, Gruffalo hunts, mud kitchen cafes, fire building and much more!
If your child does not currently attend a Thursday morning and you would like them to take part and increase their hours then please contact the school office. admin@rotins.notts.sch.uk
