EYFS In Nursery we follow the EYFSP, a copy of which is on our website. There are 17 areas of learning made up of 3 specific areas: Personal Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Communication & Language and 4 prime areas: Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Ex- pressive Arts and Design.

We look forward to sharing the final term with the children and their families in what looks like another very hectic but thoroughly enjoyable journey!
