FOUNDATION STAGE
The Foundation Stage consists of Foundation Stage 1 (Nursery) and Foundation Stage 2 (Reception).
We believe the foundation stage makes a crucial contribution to a child’s early development and learning.
Practitioners aim to ensure all children get the right start. We understand all children are unique and develop and learn in different ways. We support children to be resilient, capable, confident and inquisitive as they play and explore, become active learners and develop creative and critical thinking.
We provide a rich variety of teaching and learning experiences that are appropriate to the needs of the child.
The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is divided into 3 prime and 4 specific areas.
The 7 areas of learning and development are interconnected and equally important to support a rounded, holistic approach to child development. We aim to deliver all the areas through planned, purposeful play, with a balance of adult led and child initiated activities.
Prime Areas
* Personal, social and emotional development
* Communication and language
* Physical development
Specific
* Maths
* Literacy
* Understanding of the world
* Art and design

30 Hours Funding
Extended 30 hours Free Funding Offer for 3- and 4-year olds
The Government offers an additional 15 hours of free childcare for working parents. The additional 15 hours of free childcare is available for families where both parents are working (or the sole parent is working in a lone-parent family), and each parent works the equivalent of 16 hours a week at the national minimum or living wage, and earns less than £100,000 a year.
We are able to offer this at Cleeve on a term by term basis.
If you think you are eligible for the 30-hour funding please contact the school office for more information
