In the Squirrels Class, we place a strong emphasis on the Prime Areas of Learning under the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. These areas include Communication and Language, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, and Physical Development. Our aim is to ensure that your children have a solid foundation in these fundamental areas, which will support their overall development as they progress through their early education.
One of our key priorities is to provide a nurturing environment for the children as they transition into nursery. We understand that this can be an important and potentially challenging time for your little ones, and we want to ensure that they feel supported and secure in their new setting. Our dedicated team of are experienced in helping children settle in, and we will work closely with you to ensure a smooth transition for your child.
In the Squirrels Class, play is heavily supported as a means of fostering development. We believe that play is a crucial aspect of early childhood education, as it allows children to explore, experiment, and learn in a way that is engaging and enjoyable for them. Gradually, we will guide the children from solitary to parallel play and ultimately towards collaborative play, helping them develop important social skills and encouraging teamwork.
We understand that each child is unique, and we will adapt our teaching methods to meet their individual needs. Our experienced staff will observe and assess your child’s progress regularly, providing tailored support to ensure they reach their full potential.
