EYFS
Welcome to our EYFS Curriculum Page.
Class One is a Nursery/ Reception mixed class. Children can start after their 3rd birthday.
The mixed age group supports children starting Nursery and the smooth transition into Reception.
We use Development Matters to support the EYFS Curriculum.
We know that learning starts in EYFS. All progression maps throughout school build on from the skills the children develop in the EYFS.
We are really excited to be improving our classroom, providing opportunities for children to challenge themselves and extend their thinking.
Our new and improved outdoor area provides much needed space to explore the world around them.
We pride ourselves on giving children the best start to their journey through Bridgemere School.
We develop the children Personal Social and Emotionalwellbeing through the use of Circe Time, using an array of PSHE resources including No Outsiders and Christopher Winters.
