Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

At Brownmead, we have one EYFS Reception class called Bumblebees class.  We welcome children into our class from a range of childcare providers within the area, providing a carefully planned transition into our provision.

We encourage children to engage in our progressive curriculum through a balance of adult led and child initiated investigative learning.  Our morning sessions provide opportunities for more structured provision and our afternoons have a free-flow philosophy throughout the setting. The children have access to indoor and outdoor learning opportunities throughout the day. Our staff nurture the Characteristics of Effective Learning within the children, providing support and challenge where neccessary to enable children to make the next steps in their learning. The children engage in a thematic curriculum centred around their interests, learning and development.  The Early Years provides a foundation of knowledge and skills that the children build on, as they transition into Key Stage One. 

Important

Reception will have PE on a Thursday, please ensure all children are wearing the correct PE uniform. Please remove earrings on this day.
