Welcome to Tadpoles!

Tadpoles Class

We are so excited to welcome your children to Tadpoles, our nursery provision for 3-4 year olds. This webpage will be where you can find out what we are doing this term, important dates and pictures of our time here.

My name is Tasha Evans, and I am the Tadpoles Teacher and Nursery Lead.

I work alongside qualified Early-Years Practitioners: Vicky Tullett, Claire Drake, Karen Russell, Emily Doy, Olivia Carr and Isabella Bonventre.

We are a very experienced team and are here to support you and your child through their nursery journey. Starting nursery can be a daunting experience, especially if your child has never left you; however, we are here to help settle your child in as smoothly as possible.

Tadpoles class offers three different sessions:

Am - 8:30-11:30

Pm - 12:00- 3:00

All day - 8:30-3:00

If you wish to choose an all-day session, you will need to check if you are eligible for the 30-hour funding on the following link:

Term 5

I can't believe we are in Term 5 already!

Term 4 flew by, and we had so much fun. The children enjoyed learning about different modes of transport and the different types of jobs they do. They also loved moving their bodies in different ways. We finished off the term with our Easter stay and play. Thank you for coming in and joining us.

This term, our topic is "Nature Detectives", and it is one of my favourite topics. The children will learn about different life cycles and will experience these changes first-hand with our Caterpillars and Tadpoles we have in class. There will be opportunities to go on bug hunts in the garden and at Forest School. The children will get the chance to plant seeds, learn about how to make them grow and watch the changes and will observe changes in our garden and the natural world.

In maths, we will consolidate our learning of numbers 5 and 6 and look at height and weight.
