Early Years Foundation Stage

In our Foundation Stage, we encourage our children to be: 

• Communicators
• Investigators
• Collaborators
• Independent
• Risk-Takers
• Resilient
• Confident
• Individuals
• Creative
• Safe 
• Happy

Our FS Team encourage and support the children by:

• Providing an enabling environment in which children can develop these roles and skills;
• Providing rich experiences, such as Forest School, multi-cultural visitors and probing life's 'Big Ideas';
• Growing the vocabulary of our children through the Word Aware approach and quality interactions;
• Challenging them to move their thinking and learning on to their next step;
• Providing balanced opportunities to develop through child-initiated, adult-initiated and adult-directed activities.

Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Children are born ready, able and eager to learn.
