Parent and Carer Drop In Evening

Knockbreda Nursery School was delighted to welcome the Nursery children, their parents, carers and families for our Drop In Evening on Wednesday 18th October 2017.

This event provided the opportunity for the children to show their families around Nursery, meet their new friends and show their loved ones all their favourite places to play at school!

Thank you to all the families and friends who attended this enjoyable event!

Enrichment Fridays

Thanks to our parents and carers' generous contributions to School Fund, the children at Knockbreda Nursery School are now enjoying fun-filled Enrichment Fridays on a weekly basis. 

Each week every child at Nursery has the opportunity to participate in a Music and Movement session in The Hub with Dr Mitchell-Barrett, Friday Forest School in the Sensory Garden with Miss Lewis and a cookery session in the classroom with Mrs Beggs and Mrs O'Leary!  

The children are certainly making the very most of these stimulating learning experiences each Friday!
