Children are provided with a wide range of activities that support their learning, development and wellbeing across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage.

Opportunities for creativity and early writing include drawing and mark making, writing letters and numbers, and using a variety of materials such as paint, chalks, stencils and crayons. Children are also encouraged to explore books, menus and magazines to support early literacy skills.

Mathematical development is supported through play-based activities exploring numbers, shapes, sizes and opposites. Children regularly take part in puzzles, jigsaws, board games and construction play using resources such as Lego, train tracks and building blocks.

Imaginative play is encouraged through role play areas including vets, hairdressers, restaurants and travel agents, as well as small-world play with animals, dinosaurs, cars, dolls and other resources.

Children develop social skills through playing games together, contributing to group displays linked to current themes, and working collaboratively during activities.

Practical life skills are supported by involving children in preparing snacks and meals, sharing food and helping to tidy up. Cooking and baking activities also take place regularly.

Outdoor learning forms an important part of the provision and includes outdoor play, minibeast hunts, visits to the allotment, planting and watering, and exploring the mud kitchen.

Children also take part in enrichment activities such as singing, dancing, playing instruments, yoga, Zumba, PE sessions, Forest School and Spanish. 

Outings are an integral part of our enrichment activities and we have these at least once a month which relate to our monthly topic, E.G Transport Museum, Pumpkin picking and Farms.
