Our St Anne’s EYFS curriculum has been created so that the nursery and reception year complement each other. We have worked with subject leads in our school to ensure that we are providing an EYFS curriculum that equips our children with the knowledge as skills needed to access each phase of learning. This curriculum endeavours to enable Nursery children to access the reception curriculum and reception children to be ‘year 1 ready’. Please follow this link to find out more information about our EYFS curriculum.
Seesaw will act as a two-way communication system, allowing parents to share insights and observations about their child’s learning at home. This supports the Early Years Framework’s emphasis on working together with parents to understand and support children’s learning
Our Classroom
We have a fantastic classroom and outdoor space with lots of facilities for our Nursery children.
Outdoor Area
Outdoor play is very important to us at St Anne’. We encourage children to play outdoors what ever the weather. Outside we encourage louder, bigger and messier play. Offering children different experiences than they can have indoors.

Home Learning
Phonics
We are learning phase one of the letters and sounds phonics scheme. This will involve developing the children’s listening skills through environmental sounds, musical instruments, rhythm and rhyme.
Reading
Children read one to one with a member of staff each week and will then have their books changed. It is important to read at home as much as possible to encourage your child to develop a love for reading. It is through reading that children develop a rich vocabulary and enhance their communication skills.
