We are pleased that you have chosen to send your child to The Dell at Shevington Vale Primary School.

At The Dell we are committed to providing a caring, secure, stimulating, challenging and happy environment where all children and their families are valued. Where your child will be supported and encouraged to develop their abilities to the full in all areas of learning, complementing the experiences he/she brings from home.

Early Childhood Education is the foundation on which children build the rest of their lives and is recognised as vitally important. When a child starts nursery he/she comes with the skills and experiences acquired from home and their environment. As all children are at different stages of development, have different interests, experiences and skills it would be very helpful if you could tell us some of the things your child can do or the things he/she are interested in and enjoy doing. This will enable us to get a ‘picture’ of your child at home and to understand and find our more about him/her and how we can develop him/her further.
