Early Years Reception

In our Reception class we provide our children with vast opportunities that enable them to become creative, imaginative and active lifelong learners who can readily explore and experiment, discovering new ideas, skills and concepts in a happy and safe environment.

We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a framework for the provision of learning, development and care for children from birth to five years.  The EYFS is made up of seven areas of learning, consisting of: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Physical Development; Communication and Language; Literacy; Mathematics; Expressive Arts and Design and Understanding the World.

The children learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.

We place a great emphasis on speaking, language and listening skills so that they have the tools to get off to a really good start. We want to provide opportunities for children to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves and to speak and listen in a range of situations.
