Welcome to Our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) 

At the heart of our school lies a vibrant, nurturing, and inspiring Early Years Foundation Stage that places your child at the centre of everything we do. Whether they are taking their very first steps into learning at two years old, or beginning their Reception year, we are passionate about providing a joyful and engaging environment where every child can thrive, explore and grow into Safe, Tenacious, Ambitious, Respectful and Sensational learners. 

We are proud to offer: 

• A 32-place funded provision for 2-year-olds, giving our youngest learners the best possible start. 
• A 60-place funded Nursery for 3-year-olds, full of play, discovery and friendship. 
• Three Reception classes with 75 places, where children continue to thrive in their journey through primary school. 

A Curriculum Designed with Children in Mind 

Our EYFS curriculum is rooted in curiosity, creativity, and discovery. We believe that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences, so we provide an environment rich in opportunities for exploration, investigation, and imagination. 

We build our curriculum around the seven areas of learning, ensuring that children develop a strong foundation across both Prime Areas - Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social and Emotional Devleopment - and Specific Areas - Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design. 

Children learn through a carefully balanced blend of adult-led and child-initiated activities that support the Characteristics of Effective Learning:

• Playing and Exploring: fostering curiosity and confidence 
• Active Learning: ecouraging persistence and concentration 
• Creating and Thinking Critically: developing problem-solving and decision-making skills 

A Place Where Learning Feels Like Adventure 

Our passionate Early Years team creates a warm, supportive setting where every child feels safe, valued, and encouraged to be themselves. From sensory expoloration though messy play and outdoor adventures to storytelling, music and early writing and number skills, our days are filled with rich, meaningful experiences that help children build confidence, tenacity, ambitiion and a lifelong love of learning. 

Come and see the magic of Early Years in action!
