The early years of any child’s education provides the foundations for future educational success. Our Early Years setting provides the children with a nurturing environment, rich with books, writing and number. This supports the learning of phonics, counting and mark making.

We teach and deliver across all seven areas within the Early Years Foundation Stage: Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication and Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts and Design.

Our early years curriculum is planned to provide a wide range of opportunities designed to meet the needs of all learners. The curriculum is progressive and coherently planned using pupil’s individual starting points and prior knowledge and takes account of content, sequencing and progression for our 2 Year Old ‘Goslings’, a mixed age nursery (N1 and N2), and reception children. The development of communication and spoken language is pivotal in all seven areas of the curriculum, forming the foundations of language and cognitive development. We aim to develop pupil’s vocabulary to provide them with the opportunities to be able to understand and access the world around them.  Direct teaching of knowledge and skills across all areas of the curriculum, alongside opportunities for developing the characteristics of effective learning through continuous and enhanced provision allows our pupils to become confident, compassionate, determined learners who can work independently and collaboratively.
