Early Years - Reception
Children have a natural desire to explore, communicate, create and learn. Play engages children’s bodies, minds and emotions. In playing children can learn to interact with others and be part of a community, to experience and manage feelings, and to be in control and confident about themselves and their abilities.
At Chapel End Early Years, we strive to ensure children feel safe and confident so they can explore and play and he Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is followed through our Willow, Nursery and Reception provision.
Our three Reception classes are based on our Early Years site. This facilitates continuity and progression through the whole of the Foundation Stage. Classrooms are large and bright and the outside area offers many opportunities for physical and imaginative play. When children reach Reception, they continue to benefit from periods of sustained uninterrupted play alongside periods of direct whole class teaching and engaging, practical hands on small group activities.
