Early Years Foundation Stage

We are delighted to welcome you to Pyrcroft Grange Nursery and Reception Class, where we believe that children learn best when they feel safe, happy and are presented with a wealth of stimulating opportunities.

We embrace every child's individual needs and our diversity makes us unique. All our children benefit from exceptional, specially trained teachers and supportive experienced early years staff.

We give priority to creating an exciting learning environment for our Early Years children. We want the children to learn through purposeful, practical activities so we take great care to provide a wealth of opportunities for both indoors and out, for children to explore and investigate the world about them.

Through art, music, stories and imaginative play, we provide activities that help to develop the children's ability to listen and observe as well as to use their imagination. Our aim is to help every child flourish and blossom giving them the best start in life.

We believe in making your child’s journey through each phase of school as smooth as possible and to ensure that this starts as early as possible, our Nursery and Reception teams work closely together.  

We recognise that parents are a child’s first teacher and respect our combined role in nurturing your child.  We therefore encourage parental engagement and believe that warm, caring and trusting relationships between staff, children and parents are pivotal to our success. We value your contributions and endeavour to fully involve you in the life of our school.
