EARLY YEARS

Early Years Aims

Our aim is to have happy, engaged, independent and active learners, who feel supported and confident to follow their own interests. The adults encourage and nurture the children’s inate curiosity, playing alongside them and challenging them to explore and discover things for themselves.

At Stanley Road we have a Nursery for children age 3-4 years old and two Reception classes. We have engaging, interesting classrooms, outdoor learning areas for both Nursery and Reception and a wonderful Forest School area, which all Early Years classes visit every week.

Nursery sessions run 8.45 am – 11.45 am, 12.15pm-3.15pm or children can attend all day.

Children arrive with their adults and self-register, parents support changing their child’s story book then we gather on the carpet for yoga/ active time.

Carpet time- whole group activity such as sharing a story.

Family Groups- adult directed activities including cooking, craft, discussions etc.

Free Learning- children access the learning environment both indoors and outside.

Tapestry

Within Early Years we use an online learning journey called Tapestry. You will be registered with a secure account where you can access photos and videos of your child’s learning, combined with any news and updates.

We are very keen for parents and carers to share the valuable learing and activities that you do at home with us using this website too. The children enjoy sharing special events with the class.

Tapestry uses a website and there is also an app available.
