Gooseberry Bush Partners

Rosemellin Community Primary School.

Throughout their time at the Gooseberry Bush Day Nursery, children visit the school for a variety of occasions - Sports Day, Parties and Plays etc.

During their pre-school year, all children who will attend Rosemellin are taken to the reception class every Tuesday for ‘Rosie’s CleverSticks’. Staff from the nursery and the school liaise regularly and make frequent visits to each setting. Click on Rosemellin School's website for more information on CleverSticks.

Surestart

Working with Surestart, we are able to offer further support to young children and their families. For instance, if staff have concerns over a child’s speech, we arrange for a meeting with parents and a Speech and Language Therapist so we can work out a plan to help the child. We also have access to many Surestart activities. The Gooseberry Bush also runs creche from sure start. please ring for further information.
