Nursery 2020 - 2021
Little Oaks is a small, welcoming Pre – School where learning and fun go hand in hand. We have a large outdoor area where we play in the mud kitchen, race on the scooter tracks and grow our own herbs. We explore exciting topics throughout the year such as investigating dragons, Easter eggs and chocolate! We have fun at Forest school every week where we love to get messy and find out more about the natural world and all of its wonders.
In Little Oaks we ensure that everyone is cared for and their learning needs are addressed by providing a learning experience that is fun, active, exciting in a secure environment. The early years are an important stage in your child's learning journey as it is your child's first stage in their learning into school. This stage prepares them for their future and successes. At Little Oaks, we observe the children and plan activities that not only educate them but also follows their interests indoors and outdoors.
The EYFS is a statutory curriculum for all children in England and sets out clear goals (Early Learning Goals) which children aim to achieve by the end of Foundation Stage (reception class). We work closely with the Reception teacher within the school to ensure all our children are well prepared and ready to move on to this next stage of their development. Throughout the year our children will visit and learn the school to aid transition when they start Reception full time
