Firefighters visit Nursery

The firefighters had been invited to the Nursery '“ sited in their brand new building adjacent to Glyne Gap school - in order to help the children with a special project .

The Nursery supports the Early Years curriculum which reflects the belief that: "the key formative years of childhood are short - the quality of learning experience is therefore of major importance. The skills, concepts and attitudes formed in these early years will be the foundations upon which later learning will build."

Child Practitioner at the nursery, Katrina Bryan said the day had been a great experience for both the adults and the children.

She said: "We are doing a topic called 'People Who Help Us' . The children and staff all dressed in the fire-fighters uniform, we looked around and sat inside the fire engine, and we all got to use the hose to spray both a target of cones and to spray a member of staff's car."

She added: "The children were delighted when, at the end of the visit the firefighters put the sirens on for a quick blast as the children waved goodbye. We all had a lovely time and the children thoroughly enjoyed themselves."
