Early Years Foundation Stage

At Bramcote Hills, we believe that the Early Years are a vital stage in every child’s learning journey. Our Foundation Stage provides a stimulating and supportive space where children can explore, discover, and grow with confidence.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, which sets the standards for learning, development, and care from birth to age five. Through a balance of play-based and structured learning, we encourage children to become curious, resilient, and independent learners.

• Child-Centred Learning – Activities are tailored to children’s interests, helping them develop key skills across all areas of learning.
• A Caring Environment – Our dedicated staff create a safe, welcoming space where every child feels valued and confident.
• Learning Through Play – We know that children learn best when they are having fun! Our days are filled with play, exploration, stories, outdoor adventures, and creative opportunities.
• Strong Partnerships with Families – We work closely with parents and carers, sharing milestones and celebrating progress together.

Our caring team helps children to:

• Make new friends and feel part of a community
• Develop independence and confidence
• Explore language, numbers, and the world around them
• Express themselves through art, music, and imaginative play

Most importantly, we want your child to love coming to school each day.

In line with the EYFS Framework, our provision supports children across seven areas of learning and development:

1. Communication and Language
2. Physical Development
3. Personal, Social and Emotional Development
4. Literacy
5. Mathematics
6. Understanding the World
7. Expressive Arts and Design

🌟 Ready for the Next Step

By the end of Reception, children leave EYFS as enthusiastic, confident learners, ready to move into Key Stage 1 – with lots of happy memories of their first years at Bramcote Hills.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your child to our EYFS family!
