Learning is part of everyday play

All children are encouraged to recognise their own name, 'post it' to register and to answer the daily question. ​We have a letter of the week so we can focus on the phonic sound and encourage children to bring in objects beginning with that letter sound. This builds familiarity with letters and is an good introduction to phonics.

2 year olds

The younger children spend the start of the session in the hall with a member of staff. Our focus is easing the transition from home to the pre-school environment, ensuring they are happy, giving them plenty of opportunity to explore a wide variety of resources at their own pace with age appropriate expectations. We maintain the ratio of 1 member of staff to 4 children. We change nappies and learning to use the toilet is led by the parent and child.

3 and 4 year olds

The ratio changes to 1 staff member to 8 children. When the children are ready, they start their day with welcome time in the playroom. The older children enjoy welcome time led by a member of staff where they take it in turns to count the number of children and adults, add numbers together and discuss the date, season and weather.  
​
Each child gets the chance to bring a special item from home per week in to do 'show and tell' with, this popular activity builds confidence and familiarity with public speaking and listening skills, all essential for school.

Meeting individual needs 

​We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum that is designed for children aged 2-5 and continues through to reception year. Every day is carefully planned to ensure your child receives the best learning opportunities.  .
