EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage)

We believe every child has a right to an engaging and ambitious curriculum in their early years.

Our Early Years Curriculum supports children's development from age 2 where children can join us in our Squirrels room (Age2-3) in our on-site Nursery. Children continue that journey into Acorns Room (Age 3-4) and we then have close ties to our reception classes in school (Age 4-5.)

Our 'Starting Well Together' poster outlines our key values guiding our curriculum.

We have a clear progression and structure to our curriculum that supports children to revisit and build on new skills as they progress through the Early Years Curriculum.
