We follow the EYFS framework which sets out the following areas of learning

We offer children a wide range of activities' and experiences, both in our indoor classroom's and our wonderful large garden, open all year round. These will nurture children's all-round development and lay a solid foundation for later learning in primary school. This time in a child’s schooling is part of the Early Years Foundation Stage which continues until the end of the Reception class in their next school. Please see our curriculum policy and individual curriculum policies on our website for more information. (A paper copy can be found in the entrance hall or please ask the office for your own copy).
