Nursery & Reception (EYFS)

Welcome to our Nursery and Reception

Being part of IMPACT EDUCATION MAT, we have a deep commitment and understanding of a broad, balanced play-based learning approach in our early years provision.

During their time in the Early Years setting, we want our children to become confident, independent, and active learners who are physically and emotionally healthy.

We believe each child is unique and learns best when they have secure, positive, and responsive relationships with adults and peers.

Our learning environment promotes quality interactions, ignites curiosity and motivation for learning and exposes children to use their independent learning and investigative skills.

Learning with adults
In nursery adults will play with children, tuning into their learning needs and deliver teaching in the moment. Children will come together at points through the session to read stories, sing songs and talk with the adult leading. When children go into reception, these adult led activities gradually lengthen as children’s attention span increases and key concepts such as phonics and maths are explored.

Children
Learning through play
Playing is learning when you are a small child and we harness this by offering play opportunities in our settings. You will find a calm and purposeful learning environment where children are engaged in play by themselves, with their friends and with adults. They are learning social skills, communication and language as well as practising key concepts they learn from adults.

Children
Learning to read

At Warley Road Academy we are committed to teaching our children to read in the early years of school so they are able to successfully learn in the future. We teach children the essential speaking and listening skills in nursery and then move on to teaching children to read through phonics in reception and beyond. We teach using the Essential Letters and Sounds scheme and children love learning actions and being successful at reading.
