Community

The Community Room

The community room is used for a wide range of activities such as Opportunity Group, Parent and Toddler Group, training sessions, and PASTA meetings. We also welcome parents to use the room before sessions or when settling new children.

PASTA

PASTA is the Nursery School's Parent and Staff Association. It helps to organize social events such as the new children's tea party, and also to raise funds for the Nursery School with events such as the Christmas Bazaar and Summer Fun Day.

Parents and carers are welcome to attend PASTA meetings at which we plan forthcoming events. Those unable to attend meetings are welcome to support events by helping to run a stall or by coming along and joining in the fun. More information about PASTA, minutes of meetings, and details of forthcoming events are displayed in the entrance hall.

Opportunity Group

Opportunity Group is a pre-nursery playgroup for children with particular needs. A health visitor generally refers families to the group. Parents or carers and their children come along for a range of play activities such as painting, water play, and singing.

Partnership Schools

Lydalls is part of the Didcot Partnership of Schools and works closely with them. As a specialist early years setting, we lead termly foundation stage coordinators meetings. In addition to this, we support other settings with their development and also support with Special Educational Needs issues.
