– Preschool for 2–5 year olds with wrap around care (breakfast and after school club)
EYFS - Early Years Foundation Stage
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum and base our planning, observations, assessments and evaluations upon it.
We are guided by our genuine understanding of how children learn and of the three ‘characteristics of effective learning’ – playing and exploring (engagement), active learning (motivation) and creating and thinking critically. We know that these characteristics support children’s learning and development across all areas of the curriculum.
We recognise that every child is unique and develops at their own pace and therefore aim to work in partnership with parents to do whatever is best for their child. Children usually settle in very quickly here as there is so much to do!
