Newtownards Nursery School is a state funded educational establishment offering 52 full time nursery places to children age 3-4. At Newtownards Nursery we are committed to ensure the highest standards of learning and teaching for all our children. As a 'Very Good School' in the last ETI Inspection, May 2014, we provide a rich, stimulating and inspiring learning environment. We believe that, rather than seeing the child as an empty vessel waiting to be filled with knowledge, there is a child with unlimited potential who is eager to interact and contribute to the world. We believe that observing, reflecting, assessing and documenting children's learning, successes and achievements are crucial elements of the Northern Ireland Pre-School Curriculum.

Yesterday afternoon, our wonderful staff team — alongside some colleagues from Brefne Integrated Nursery School — came together for a Makaton for Early Years refresher course! 🌟

We are always looking for ways to grow and improve, and refreshing our Makaton skills helps us ensure we can best support every single child in our nursery. Communication is at the heart of everything we do! 🗣️❤️

A huge thank you to Carrie from Makaton NI for delivering such an engaging and valuable session.
