Aged 3-4 Year Olds – Igniting Learning
We are dedicated to igniting a love for learning in our 3-4 year olds and preparing them for their transition to school. We understand that this age is crucial for building a strong foundation of knowledge and skills. By providing a nurturing and stimulating environment, we ensure that our 3-4 year olds are school ready and equipped with the necessary tools to excel in their educational journey.
Reception
In Reception we carry on all the excellent learning that has taken place in our Nursery and Preschool and the children achieved a successful transition to Reception. Our beautiful setting provides a secure and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable to explore and discover. Our small class size and access to specialist teachers enable the children to make rapid progress during their Reception year. We empowered the children to express their ideas, build their confidence, become independent learners and embrace a passion for learning that extends beyond the classroom.
