The Early Years Foundation Stage
Our curriculum is designed to be creative and inspiring, full of memorable experiences that allows children's natural creativity and curiosity to flourish, alongside the purposeful acquisition of skills and knowledge. Children are offered a wide range of experiences that broadens their understanding and equips them with the skills needed to be confident, independent, lifelong learners.
We recognise that each child is unique and tailor quality learning opportunities around each child’s individual needs and interests. Challenge is embedded within the curriculum to ensure that all children are able to meet their full potential. The curriculum forms a strong foundation from which children can build upon as they move into Key Stage 1

Learning
Our day is made up of both adult led and child initiated sessions. This enables the children to learn new skills, knowledge and understanding, which they can then transfer into their own learning and play.
Our learning environment ensures that children are able to access high quality, open ended resources for their play, providing opportunities to build on the knowledge and skills they have been taught.

Our outdoor area supports children's learning across the curriculum and helps children to practice the skills they have learnt.
We have very well stocked builder's yard to enable children to create and play. We love making lots of vehicles and big buildings.
