Nursery at Mousehole School

Learning classroom routines and growing in confidence characterised the early-years emphasis at Mousehole Mice in April 2022. In April 2022, personal, emotional and social development took priority in the early years, helping children feel familiar with expectations and become confident learners. That emphasis helped children build a practical foundation for learning.
Mousehole Mice Pre-School Nursery is Mousehole School's own provision on Foxes Lane in Mousehole, Penzance. In April 2022, the pre-school catered for children aged two, three and four. Its staffing includes two nursery assistants.
In April 2022, the early years curriculum gave learning how to participate a clear purpose. In April 2022, children in the pre-school made a positive start, with attention to their emotional development and relationships alongside familiarity with classroom expectations. For parents, the useful implication is that confidence and participation count as learning, rather than being treated simply as preparation for it.
Classroom routines were part of that educational work. The emphasis connected children's personal development with their ability to learn successfully, giving everyday expectations a role in building confidence.
Two nursery assistants form part of the Mousehole Mice team. Safeguarding responsibility sits with a designated lead for the pre-school, working with the school's deputy safeguarding leads. This connects the nursery's arrangements with the wider school team and gives responsibility for children's welfare a defined structure.
Concerns about a child's welfare can lead to information being shared and joint work with other agencies, including Mousehole School. Parents and carers are normally involved in discussing those concerns first. There is an important exception: that discussion may not happen first if it would work against the child's welfare. Families should understand both the expectation of communication and the reason for that exception.
Inclusion is an explicit school aim. Mousehole School aims for children with special educational needs and disabilities to have access to its curriculum. Cornwall's Family Information Service and the Neurodiversity Hub provide routes to supporting resources, giving families named places to explore information about additional needs.
Attending Mousehole Mice does not guarantee a Reception place at Mousehole School. Families must make a separate Reception application through the normal admissions process and meet the applicable deadline.
Treat choosing the nursery and applying for Reception as two separate decisions. Familiarity with the school does not replace the application, so families should keep the Reception process in their plans while their child attends pre-school.

Parents driving to the school are asked to park considerately towards nearby residents. This is a practical consideration for families planning journeys to Foxes Lane and managing the nursery run.
