Joining our Nurseries

At Oasis Academy Hadley we believe that children's transition into the Academy is the key to successful lifelong learning. We understand the importance of ensuring that children feel safe and secure and believe that the best way to do this is to work together to ensure that every child gets the best possible start. Our induction procedures in the Early Years ensure that children are given time to build solid relationships with adults and their peers and to settle into their new unfamiliar surroundings.

 

Stay and Play Sessions

These sessions are run by Early Years staff and give families the first chance to come into the Academy and to meet some of the key members of staff.

 

Home Visits and Virtual Visits

We know that this first meeting is one of the most important parts of beginning our relationships with your child. It is important that this first meeting should take place in familiar surroundings. This may be in person or online. Many children will be coming away from home for the first time when they start school and we want them to feel safe and secure with the new adults they will be working with. During our visit we really want to know all about your child and to gain an understanding of how best to support them settling successfully into the Academy.

 

Family Induction Sessions

You will then be invited to a Family Induction Session where you will have the opportunity to see the Academy’s facilities and resources and most importantly it will be time for the children to ‘play’ and explore their new surroundings alongside their family. During the visit there will be plenty of opportunities for you to ask questions and you will be encouraged to play alongside your child.

 

Start Dates

The children start at the Academy in a small group which enables staff to really support them to make relationships and helps them to learn the new routines and expectations within the Academy. Many of our children start the September but we also admit children throughout the year. We value every child for their individuality and know that each child will settle into the Academy in their own way, so we work closely together to ensure a smooth transition.

 

Staffing

Our Early Years Assistant Principal oversees our nursery and reception classes. There is a teacher and two teaching assistants in our 3-year-old nursery and a team of 6 staff lead by our 2 year old nursery Team Leader running our 2-year-old nursery.
