At Lyne and Longcross Nursrey, we provide an environment of ‘awe and wonder’ in which children can experiment, explore, be curious and progress in their own creative ways enhanced by quality adult interactions in a language rich environment. In Nursery we aim for the children to leave independent, with a sense of well-being, and a positive attitude towards learning.

Our dedicated staff support the learning of 2 ½ year olds – 4 year olds mainly through the children’s own initiated play.  We develop and support children’s interests, encouraging their natural curiosity and critical thinking, and being their champion, encouraging them to have a go and persevere.

In Nursery, the children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum supported by Development Matters and Birth -5. 

 The EYFS is divided into 7 areas:

The children are tracked and assessed three times a year, with parents and carers being invited to attend parents/carers meetings and receiving an end of year report.  Our 2 ½ -3 year olds will also receive their statutory 2 year old check.
