Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (Revised March 2021)

Birth to Five Years

There are 7 areas of learning and development

These 7 areas are used to plan your child's learning and development.

In Nursery, we focus on 3 Prime Areas:
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development.

The prime areas are most essential for your child's healthy development and future learning.

As your child grows the prime areas will help them to develop skills in:

Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design.

Key Worker

In Nursery, we use a key worker system.

Each child in Nursery is given a Key worker

The children will be split into 3 groups in the morning and 1 group in the afternoon.

All staff work with all of the children, however during snack and maths focus, children work with their key worker.

At parents evening, you can arrange a meeting with your child's key worker.

A Typical Day in Nursery

The children are to arrive at Nursery at 8:55am/12.25pm. The children will come into nursery and their parent/carer will help the child to hang their coat up and take them to the little room where they will sit down with the teacher ready to do the register.

The door will open for pick up time at 3.15pm-3.25pm. The parents will wait outside the story room and the staff will say a child's name in turn. (If anyone different is picking up please inform a member of staff in the Nursery or at the office.

The children that will be attending Little Lions in the afternoon will be taken down to the infant hall to have their lunch and then will return to the nursery classroom for the afternoon.

All children need to bring their book bag everyday.
All children need to bring in a water bottle everyday (water only).
Snack is provided - fruit/vegetables, milk or water
Please label all items of school uniform and coats with your child's name

Little Lions

After story time at the end of the morning, the children are collected from the nursery and taken down to the infant hall to have their lunch.

We are a healthy school so please pack healthy lunchboxes.

After lunch they will learn indoors and outdoors and throughout the afternoon they will do a focused activity and will learn through play in the different areas of the classroom. The afternoon only children will be attending this session too.

Snack will be provided in the afternoon.

Please collect your child at the Nursery entrance between 3:15pm-3:25pm. If you need to collect your child any earlier for a particular reason, please inform the office of the time and a member of staff will bring your child to the main school reception ready to be collected.
