Healthy Lunches

We try to encourage our children to eat a healthy range of foods and work to develop their understanding of a healthy lifestyle

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is Free Play?

Children choose their activities from the many available each day. We provide a carefully planned curriculum and the children are constantly learning as they play, either independently, with their friends or through more adult led activities.

All of our activities are planned to cover the Three Prime Areas of Learning and Development in the Early Years Foundation Stage:

​

- Personal, Social and Emotional Development

- Physical Development

- Communication and Language

 

and the Four Specific Areas:

​

- Literacy

- Mathematics

- Understanding the World

- Expressive Arts and Design
