Welcome to Golborne & Maxilla Nursery School. We are really excited that your child is joining our nursery.
There is lots of information on our school website for you to have a look at. In October there will be a parent coffee morning with our Head Teacher for you to attend. During this coffee morning, Veronica will go through our curriculum and she will show you how we monitor your child’s learning.
To help you get ready for the start of the school year, see below for information about:

As children can help themselves to fruit and a drink, there’s no need to send in snacks. Please do bring in fruit for sharing. There is a fruit basket in black and white room. When children have a birthday, we light candles on the “Birthday Cake”; we welcome your contributions of raisins, breadsticks and fruit which can be shared with over 50 friends!
