Early Years Provision
Our Reception Year provides a nurturing, vibrant and welcoming environment for children taking their first steps into school life. We strive to enable children to learn with a smile and make sure to celebrate all the children’s successes, be they at school or at home.
At Heathfield House School, we follow The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS) in Reception. We believe this provides the children with the skills necessary to have the best possible start to their educational journey. The Reception curriculum is carefully planned to ensure children make the progress parents seek whilst allowing children to learn through play. Through play based and adult supported learning children make progress academically, socially and physically.
The teaching ethos in our Reception Classes is topic-based offering numerous opportunities for the children to be creative and inquisitive in a variety of ways. Focused based tasks ensure children have a solid foundation in which to build their future learning. The children are encouraged to discover, question and enjoy their learning in order to gain a solid foundation in every area of learning and become independent pupils.
