At Rachel Keeling Nursery School we believe that stories are central to children’s learning. The first story is the child’s own story. When children start, we ask their family to share their own story with us. We listen and consider where they have come from, their home languages, background and what makes them happy.
As soon as children start school, they enter a literature-rich environment with signs, labels, leaflets, story books, poetry books and information books easily accessible at all times.
We have a book-borrowing system and have removed signing in and out logs as we noticed this was deterring some families from borrowing. They take them home freely and for the pure pleasure of it – no forms to fill out.
