Nursery 2025 - 2026
Miss Laurie
Hello from Miss Laurie!
I’m Miss Laurie and I’ve been at Etchells for 10 years. For the last 8 years I’ve been in EYFS – and I never want to leave! (Fun fact: I actually did my university placement here and made a vow I’d come back… and now I’m here for good! )
I absolutely love Etchells Nursery and working with the wonderful Mrs Deering. Being children’s first teacher is such a privilege – I love watching them grow throughout their time at school and building strong relationships with all our amazing families.
At home, I have 4 children of my own who are growing up far too quickly! When I’m not at school, you’ll usually find me enjoying Disney, rollercoasters, and all things pink.
I feel so lucky to be part of Etchells and I can’t wait for another year of fun, learning, and adventure with our Nursery children!
At Etchells Nursery…
We’re so excited to welcome our new children and families to our wonderful Nursery! 
In EYFS, every day is filled with fun, curiosity, and discovery. We love learning through play – just like Einstein says, “Play is the highest form of research.” From exploring new ideas to building friendships, there’s always something exciting happening in our classroom.
We’re also very lucky to have the amazing Mrs Deering, our full-time Nursery TA, who brings so much care, creativity, and support to our little learners.
Some of the things we love most:
Our Letter of the Week
Getting messy and exploring
Welly Wednesdays
Playing and learning in our beautiful new outdoor area
Growing a love for stories and books
Learning through play, indoors and outdoors
We can’t wait to share this year with our brilliant Nursery children and families – it’s going to be an adventure full of learning, laughter, and lots of fun!
