Ladybirds Foundation Stage (reception and nursery)

We are a Foundation Stage class made up of Nursery and Reception children. We are taught by Mrs Cooper, along with Miss Lucy and Miss Zoe

 

We are lucky to have a fantastic classroom space including multiple outdoor areas, enabling us to explore and learn through our play. Our environment evolves and develops, underpinned by our magical 'WOW moments', and alongside the children's interests to ensure we are happy, confident and curious learners. Playful learning experiences are planned at key times of the day which help us to expand and consolidate our knowledge. In school we support all our children to develop their skills in becoming curious, independent, resilient, collaborative and reflective in all they do. Our children are encouraged to see mistakes as opportunities to learn and to thrive when challenged.

Our nursery welcomes children from 2 years old.

We are open 5 days per week Monday - Friday 8:45 am to 3:15 pm term -time only. Breakfast club is optional.
