Communication
All of our Early Years Foundation Stage team, including our teaching assistants, are experienced practitioners who really enjoy working with and teaching young children. We value the importance of close collaboration and positive relationships with parents and carers and aim to be approachable and responsive. Pease do not hesitate to come and talk to any of us should you ever have any questions or concerns.

How do children learn in the Early Years?
Over the academic year we will be teaching aspects of the seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum – it is a distinct phase of education covering birth to the end of the Reception year.
Please find out more by following the links below to the Statutory EYFS Framework and the government guidance document we use as a starting point to implement the framework, Development Matters.
Children in our Early Years setting learn through a balance of adult-led and child-initiated experiences. We know that young children learn best when they explore and experience things first-hand, and our team are all extremely experienced in supporting children to make the most of any learning opportunities that may arise.
You can find the full EYFS Intent, Implementation and Impact document, which outlines the curriculum of our unit, under the Curriculum link on our Reception front page.
