Curriculum & approach

Our team delivers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) through a balanced mix of play and structured learning. Children develop their communication and language skills, grow personally, socially and emotionally, and build confidence in physical movement both indoors and outdoors. Early literacy and numeracy are introduced in playful, engaging ways, alongside creative exploration and activities that help children understand the world around them. We work closely with parents so every child feels confident, supported and ready to take their next steps into school. Take a look at the Virtual Tour of our Lakeview Pre School in Wixams!
