In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Micklefield CE Primary School our aims are to: 

• support children to make a planned, confident transition into school
• provide a happy, caring, safe and secure environment for learning
• plan learning experiences that meet the individual needs and interests of your children through a balanced provision of adult led and child initiated opportunities
• support children to become competent and confident learners so they are able to reach their full potential
• provide a broad and balanced high quality curriculum in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance
• foster positive home school links with parents and carers.

We welcome children from the term after they turn three through to the end of Reception on a journey of discovery and exploration. Nursery children are encouraged to initiate their own learning through play supported by skilled adults as well as engaging in regular group and whole-class activities. This balance of opportunities for awe and wonder alongside carefully planned directed activities ensures each child is given the opportunity and support to make progress.
