Keepers Cottage Nursery 

 

In September 2023, Scargill Infant School opened a brand new Nursery on site called Keepers Cottage. It is named after Mrs Keeper as she always had a vision of opening a nursery during the 27 years of her being the Headteacher. We had the pleasure of welcoming the Mayoress, Councillor Stephanie Nunn and Mrs Keepers Husband and Daughter to celebrate the opening of the nursery.

Blossom

In Nursery all parents will be invited to join the app, 'Blossom'. Staff use Blossom to document your child's learning journey by adding photographs and comments that you can see at home. Parents and carers are encouraged to share photographs from home too. 

 

Key Person

In Nursery all children are allocated a Key Person. A Key Person is responsible for developing a close relationship with your child and yourselves. Your child's Key Person will meet with you once a term to discuss your child's progress.
