Early Years
Our Early Years classes are based on The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and are packed with fun learning-based activities for 3-5 year olds. Our highly qualified Early Years teachers ensure that your child is encouraged to learn through stimulating play activities both inside and out. We organise off site trips including annual visits to Kingston Maurward Animal Park and The Lorton Meadows Nature Reserve.
Nursery and Reception children also learn French and Spanish which is integrated into all lessons throughout the day.
Join us on one of our FREE, no obligation "Discovery Mornings" to experience the vibrance and unique creativity of our Early Years Nursery.

We focussed our afternoon activities around "Hooray for Fish", a book written by Lucy Cousins. We talked about the various patterns we saw on the fish in the fictional story - spots, stripes, squiggles and zig-zags, before creating our very own fish using paper plates, tissue paper, glitter, felt and googly eyes. Samuel's fish was an upside down fish!
