Employer information
we provide extensive opportunities for children to play, to grow and to develop, but the name illustrates our committment to do even more.
Preparing children for school, equipping them with the knowledge and learning skills to make a flying start to their school careers is paramount. In addition to learning through free play, we ensure that our children leave us with the literacy and numeracy skills that enable them to move successfully into reception.
Yes, we value free play and exploration, but we balance this with frequent opportunities to work on phonics, on writing, and on number and shape. We believe that developing and practising these skills is an important aspect of early yerars learning.
