This stage covers the Nursery and Reception Class and offers a carefully integrated two year programme of learning. The progress of each child is closely monitored across the six key areas which make up this stage:  Personal, social and emotional development;  Communication, language and literacy;  Knowledge and understanding of the world;   Physical development & Creative development;  Mathematical development.

During these formative years, particular emphasis is put on personal, social and emotional development. As the children move through Nursery and Reception  they build on their understanding of the world around them. All the key curriculum areas are covered during the year, and assemblies provide an opportunity for the children to build a sense of community.

Our outdoor classroom provides opportunities for the children to learn through play in an outside environment.
