Reception – A Nurturing Start to Lifelong Learning

In our Reception class, we are passionate about providing the very best start to school life. Our Early Years environment is carefully crafted to offer rich, first-hand experiences that ignite curiosity and foster a love of learning. Children are encouraged to develop independence, make choices, and take thoughtful risks within a safe and secure setting. We celebrate their individuality and growth, knowing that confident learners flourish when they feel supported and understood. At the heart of our approach are strong, nurturing relationships that help children feel connected, valued, and ready to explore the world around them

Our Team enables all children to make a seamless transition from Nursery into Reception and we work very closely with the rest of the school enabling children to confidently move through into Key Stage 1.

If you have a child due to start Reception in September 2026, please take a look at the dates for our Open Mornings. We would love to meet you.

What our parents say…

“This is our second year in EYFS. Our little boy thoroughly enjoyed his Nursery and Reception years and his end of year report reflects a happy little boy who is understood and supported by the staff. His transition into Year 1 has been easy”
