What is the EYFS?

We follow a set of legal requirements set by the Department for Education called the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

The EYFS sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children from birth to five years learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It covers children’s learning and development, safeguarding and welfare, and how we work in partnership with parents.

Parents can find more information about the EYFS, including What to Expect in the Early Years Foundation Stage, here is the link Early years foundation stage - GOV.UK.

Can we visit you?

We operate an open-door policy, and families are welcome to visit us at any time. If you would prefer to make an appointment, this helps us ensure a member of staff is available to answer any questions you may have. Please feel free to contact us to arrange a visit or to find out more.

As we operate from a shared building, we do not have the opportunity to offer an afterschool club at the moment.
