Our Pre school Group

This is quite a fast and furious development phase. Children grow in confidence by the day, and become more skilled in so many different areas. They’re physically more able, with fine motor skills developing. Their use of language flourishes and their enquiring minds are keen to know the answers to all life’s mysteries. 

In the Pre-school Group, our team plan activities to reflect the Early Years Foundation Stage for the development of pre-school children. There are opportunities to learn through play every day, including early reading and maths skills, mark-making, imaginative play and ICT (Information and Communication Technology), which are reinforced through what we call ‘purposeful play’. At this point, we start to introduce a little more structure to the day, along with other activities such as baking (a great way of supporting early maths), and we develop independance and confidence by allowing our preschoolers to be daily helpers.  Our aim is to instil and encourage self confidence and a real enjoyment of learning so when they start school, they’re self assured and raring to go.
