Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
Within the Nightingale Federation, we are proud of the outstanding Early Years provision we offer for our youngest pupils, from aged 2 - 5 years. Our Ark Nursery and Reception classes provide the very best, quality first teaching, experiences and education for all. With our modern and purpose-designed facilities, together with our highly qualified and experienced staff, we can be sure our pupils thrive and flourish as they begin their journey with us to ‘let their light shine’.
Our bespoke Early Years curriculum is designed to engage and inspire a lifelong love of learning for our pupils, through their schooling and beyond. We plan following carefully considered learning objectives to ensure sequential and progressive opportunities, whilst considering the children’s individual needs, interests and next steps. Across our federation, you will see smiles and laughter from our Early Years pupils as they learn alongside their friends, accessing our fantastic provisions both inside and out.
