Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Home Our School About Us Early Years Foundations Stage (EYFS)

This includes the Nursery and Reception classes.

Nursery

Our school has a 52 two place nursery. We offer up to 26 places in the morning places and 26 afternoon places. For eligible parents or carers, there is the option of requesting up to 30-hour provision within our Nursery setting. Children benefit from a large outside space which is planned with features that support the EYFS curriculum and learning through play.

If places are available, children can join our nursery from the September after their third birthday and Reception in the September after their fourth birthday.

Reception

Whitley Lodge First School currently has provision for 45 pupils per year group. With two Reception classrooms, it means that our Reception children benefit from relatively smaller class sizes of no more than 23 children in each classroom for the academic year. This enables the staff in Reception to create strong relationships that enable children to flourish.
