Little Acorns - Nursery & Reception
Both nursery and reception are educated together in our early years unit run by:
Mrs D Grant (dgrant@hayton.cumbria.sch.uk) and Mrs C Platton (cplatton@hayton.cumbria.sch.uk).
This allows us to track children from the point of entry into school.

An Introduction To Little Acorns For New Starters...
The First Days
Any children wishing to join the early years class at Hayton School and who are coming from another setting will be invited to attend transition mornings prior to their entry into school.
Helping your child settle in to school is very important to us and we are happy to work alongside you to make it as easy as possible for you and your child. We hope that your child’s time in school will be a very happy and productive one. If you have any queries, or if we can be of any help, please contact the school at any time.
