EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE

Our Early Years Foundation Stage; Cubs Corner, comprises two year groups: Nursery (ages 3-4) and Reception (ages 4-5). Our nurturing staff members, all qualified to UK standards, strive to provide a neutral and calm environment, where everyone feels valued, secure and well cared for. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We follow the Early Years foundation stage statutory framework (EYFS), which has seven important and inter-connected areas of learning; 

  • Communication and Language 
  • Physical Development 
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development 
  • Literacy 
  • Mathematics 
  • Understanding the World 
  • Expressive Arts and Design
     

Alongside the EYFS Development Matters is used, which is the English non-statutory guidance framework for the EYFS. 

All children engage in phonics activities, with more formal phonics lessons starting in Term 3 of Nursery. The UK approved programme Read Write Inc. (RWI) is use for all phonics learning, providing a familiar and structured strategy for our young readers. RWI continues into Year 2 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With a focus on play-based learning, we foster creativity, curiosity, and a love for discovery. We also begin to embed the school’s ethos and values including PRiDE. Through our warm and supportive atmosphere, we create a solid foundation for every child’s educational journey, ensuring they thrive and reach their full potential.
