Welcome to EYFS!
Our Early Years Department consists of a Little Explorers room for ages 2-3, a Nursery room for ages 3-4, and two Reception classes, each led by qualified Teachers/Early Years practitioner and supported by Teaching Assistants and apprentices.
Our NEW Little Explorers room for 2-3 year olds is a home from home environment, where each child is valued, provided with the highest quality care, and where every day is full of exciting opportunities and experiences to explore.
