Transitions

During the summer term we offer a stay and play session on an allocated day where the parents can meet the staff, explore the nursery in its working environment and sign the funding form.

Before your child starts Nursery you are required to attend a 30 minute transition visit with your child During September and January intakes  we partake in a staggered transition into the nursery setting the children into their new environment over 2weeks. 

What is taught in the Early Years Foundation Stage 

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework is a crucial tool for supporting children’s learning and development from birth to five years old. At the core of the EYFS are the seven areas of learning, which encompass the knowledge, skills, and experiences children need to thrive:
Carr Mill Primary School: EYFS Curriculum
  • Communication and Language: Developing children’s ability to express themselves and understand others
  • Physical Development: Promoting children’s physical health, coordination, and self-care skills
  • Personal, Social, and Emotional Development: Supporting children’s self-awareness, relationships, and emotional well-being
  • Literacy: Fostering children’s early reading and writing skills
  • Mathematics: Building children’s understanding of numbers, shapes, and measures
  • Understanding the World: Helping children make sense of their physical world and community
  • Expressive Arts and Design: Encouraging children’s creativity and self-expression through various mediums

To aid a smooth transition into Reception and Key Stage 1 the Nursery follow the same Phonics and Maths Schemes in line with the main school which are Little Wandles Letters and Sounds Revised and White Rose Maths.
