Early Years Foundation Stage

The Early Years Foundation Stage is our Nursery and Reception classes.

All children begin school with a variety of experiences and learning which we value.

Childhood is a time of play and through play we discover the excitement of learning, the rewards of achievement and acquire our life skills.

The Early Years setting with its bright, colourful, noisy, well planned, busy environment encourages the children in the development of skills, attitudes and understanding that will help them to live full, satisfying lives and become confident, useful and active members of a diverse, constantly changing, society.

We believe that high esteem is of paramount importance and aim to promote it in all children. They need to feel happy and secure in order to develop their full potential so we ensure that their early years at school are fun, inspiring and challenging.

Independence underpins all areas of learning across the early years so we ensure that children are encouraged to do things for themselves. We provide developmentally appropriate opportunities for children to take responsbility and to make choices and decisions.

We work in partnership with parents to ensure the best possible start to school life for each and every child.
