EARLY YEARS (AGE 2-5)
Our fabulous Early Years department welcomes children from the age of 2. Our flexible ‘Wrap around Care’ provision enables us to ensure that what’s on offer here at Talbot Heath fits around your family life.
Our well-resourced base, which comprises our Nursery (age 2-3), Kindergarten (age 3-4) and Reception (age 4-5), is staffed by dedicated and enthusiastic teachers and teaching assistants, who are committed to ensuring that your daughter has a fantastic start to school life and develops a true love of learning.
EYFS CURRICULUM (EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE)
The curriculum is based upon the EYFS ‘Development Matters’ Framework and our pupils have fun working towards achieving the Early Learning goals from the moment they join our setting.
A clear focus on developing core skills in phonics, reading and maths mean that our youngest learners have the very best start to their education. Daily lessons in these areas are delivered in a practical and engaging way and ensures that each pupil develops strong core understanding and skills. Our experienced, well-qualified staff seek to bring out the very best in every child.
In addition, our aim in EYFS is to ensure that pupils receive a broad and balanced education which gives them the confidence to achieve their potential in a happy, warm and stimulating environment. We are very proud of our wonderful woodland surroundings and facilities, and which enable us to offer specialist teaching in Music, French and Forest School. As our pupils progress through the department and into Reception, further access to facilities in our HUB continue to support pupil learning through swimming lessons, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths), PE and Computing.
We look forward to welcoming you for a visit. Please contact Mrs R Campbell-McLean, Head of Admissions, Telephone: 01202 761881 Email: admissions@talbotheath.org
