# EYFS Unit

## Welcome to EYFS

A warm welcome to the EYFS team! We are thrilled to have you join our nurturing, play-based environment designed to foster curiosity, independence, and foundational skills through the EYFS curriculum. We look forward to building a strong home-school partnership, supporting your child’s development, and celebrating their "wow!" moments together.

The doors open in the morning 8.30am for both the nursery and reception. The Nursery children attend the morning session only which finishes at 11.45am. The Reception children finish school and are collect at 3.10pm.

The children need to ensure they bring a warm coat daily and have wellies in school as we use our beautiful outdoor area daily. We read with the children daily so please ensure your child brings their home reader to school each day. Our PE day is Wednesday each week. The children need to ensure their PE kit is in school and remains in school. It will be sent home to be washed at the end of each half term.

Many thanks

Miss Sweeney, Mrs Anderton, Mrs McCallion & Mrs Singh.
