In the Early Years we are committed to giving our children the best start in their school life by making learning exciting and engaging, enabling children to reach their full potential and our bespoke curriculum in the Early Years has been designed to support this. We help the children to develop a positive image of themselves as competent and independent learners. We facilitate this through nurturing and supporting each individual to achieve and learn by providing a safe, stimulating and challenging environment, enhancing their interests and exploiting all learning opportunities.

We intend learning for our young children to be a rewarding and enjoyable experience in which they explore, investigate, discover, create, practise, rehearse, repeat, revise and consolidate their developing knowledge, skills, understanding and attitudes. Our environment primarily supports our children to develop their communication skills through calming neutral spaces, cosy areas to talk and open-ended resources to spark imagination.

The environment has been adapted accordingly, both indoors and out, in order to facilitate the above whilst adhering to the requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework.
