The Early Years Foundation Stage is where we lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Our team work tirelessly to create a home from home learning environment, where children feel important, valued and part of our community.
Our caring team work alongside the children to develop their language skills, personal and social skills as well as their thinking skills. Through forming strong relationships with our youngest learners and their families we are able to support and challenge children in their thinking to build their confidence and knowledge over time.
Through high quality interactions during our VIP Time (Very Important Play!) our children are able to apply and embed their learning, making sense of the world around them. Our EYFS Team work with the children to develop the following learner attributes which we feel will best place them for a lifetime of successful learning.
