We have 3 Settings: Greenway Nursery and Rainbow Club in the grounds of Greenway Academy in Horsham (also serving Trafalgar Infants); Rustington Funstars at Rustington Community Primary School; and Littlehampton Beachstars in the grounds of River Beach Primary School.

You said – We did…
Our Feeder-School Transition Survey has been very helpful again in understanding the successes and challenges for the children who left us in 2023 to start Reception. We use the valuable feedback provided by the Reception teachers in the main schools that our children move on to in order to refine our curriculum and make sure we emphasise those aspects of the children's learning that their future teachers feel will be most helpful to them in their Reception year. For Summer 2024, we are adding additional focus on: small group activities; letter formation; counting groups of up to 5 objects; getting dressed and changed independently; and knowing nursery rhymes.
Our 2023 Parent and Child survey was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you for all who took part, it was fantastic to have so many responses from across our settings. The responses included quite a few requests for specific toys and games, which we have implemented as part of our constant renewal of our toy stock. Several requests were made to increase the focus that we put on toys and games for older children – we have responded to this by seeking specific toys for 7+ which can be kept away from the younger children. There were some comments from Horsham families that the site is less secure in our Wrap-Around Care sessions because of the main school gate being open out of hours. Whilst this is out of our hands to an extent (of course, our setting is a fully secure building in its own right), we have arranged with the school to build separate access facilities with a dedicated, fenced off path as part of the renewal of the school site. This will take some time.
