Our Intentions...
We want all children to become....
The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage)
All children deserve the care and support they need to have the best start in life. Children learn and develop at a faster rate from birth to five years old than at any other time in their lives, so their experiences in early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to fulfil their potential. The EYFS sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
The EYFS is about what children learn, as well as how they learn. Effective practice is a mix of different approaches. Children learn through play, by adults modelling, by observing each other and through adult-guided learning.

Chatter Boxes
We intend to develop language & Cognitive development so children can hold rich conversations. We do this through narration, listening, story telling and modelling.

Social Learners
We intend to support children to develop positive relationships where they can confidently express their emotions whilst recognising others. This will enable them to make friends, interact and learn to resolve conflicts so they can achieve at school and in life. We aim to support children to become confident and independent in self-care & in all aspects of their day to day lives.
Active Tots
We intend to support children to pursue happy, healthy, and active lifestyles both in body and mind. We support the development of gross motor skills such as core strength, balance, spatial awareness, co-ordination as well as developing fine motor skills such as hand eye co-ordination which support literacy skills.
Imaginative Bookworms
We intend for our children to develop a lifelong love of storytelling, reading and imagination. We incorporate storytelling into everyday play so children can understand story structures. We intend for children to develop an awareness of phonetic blending to make words and recognition of the written word.
Mini Mathematicians
We intend for children to develop a strong understanding of number and mathematics. This includes counting, number recognition, patterns, sequencing, estimation, and problem solving. We encourage a ‘have a go’ attitude to support children to learn that its ok to have a go and be right or wrong. We aim to develop confidence using trial and error without a fear of failure.
Adventurous Explorers
We intend for children to be able to make sense of the world around them recognising its wonders, communities, and their experiences within it. We want to enrich and widen children’s views and the different experiences within it. We want children to understand they are unique, and each bring different experiences to each other’s lives
Creative Thinkers
We intend for children to be artist, musical and have cultural awareness through the exploration of music, creativity, and imagination. We want children to be confident in expressing themselves in a variety of ways showing pride in themselves, their abilities and what they can achieve if they try.
