Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) applications

Our Early Years is setup as a unit with children from 3-5 years old accessing our inspiring learning environment which consists of 6 learning zones: a creative space, an outdoor construction zone and an area for outdoor physical development. Our learning environment follows the Curiosity Approach and the learning environment is inspired by aspects of the Reggio Emilio and Early Excellence approaches which both encourage the use of natural resources and calm colours. Following aspects of these approaches, the learning environment is intended to be the third teacher and should be aesthetically pleasing with purposeful, real-life resources, giving the children opportunities to learn and grow in their own way.

Our aim is to support our children to develop into creative, independent learners through meaningful adult interactions, sparking curiosity and inspiring imagination through their play.
