Starting school is an exciting time: a time of new experiences, new friends and new places. Our school days provide a secure and anxiety-free environment where your child can play, explore, experiment, investigate and learn. We also encourage the children to acquire skills and knowledge through first-hand experience, gaining a sound understanding of the world around them. ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/water_play_3.JPG)![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/water_play_1.JPG)![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/FirstNews/bubbles_nancy.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/imaginationplay_3.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/imaginiationplay_2.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/imagination_play.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/ellie_writing.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/alfoe_mark_making.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/hallie_map.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/teeth.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/half.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/climbing_wall.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/ethan_lady_bug.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/cleo_maths_take_away.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/maths_bus.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/mud_kitchen.JPG) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/beach_2.jpg) ![](https://brookside.cheshire.sch.uk/images/play_dough.JPG) What does a typical school day look and feel like?
