At Forest Park, we welcome children into our Nursery from the term in which they turn 2 years old. Our provision nursery and Pre-Prep provision runs all year round, for 48 weeks, offering flexible, high-quality care for families.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, covering all seven areas of learning:
-
Personal, Social & Emotional Development
-
Communication and Language
-
Physical Development
-
Literacy
-
Mathematics
-
Understanding the World
-
Expressive Arts & Design
Our welcoming classrooms are designed for continuous provision, with colour stations, art and craft materials, sand and water areas, and computers. Children are encouraged to explore freely, experiment with drawings, prints, and silhouettes, and develop independence by tidying away after themselves.
Early Years children also benefit from specialist teaching in PE, music, Spanish, and ICT, helping them develop skills and interests across a wide range of areas from an early age.
We organise three outings each year, providing rich learning experiences beyond the classroom. Recent trips have included Smithills Farm and Knowsley Safari Park.
Our early years teachers are always happy to support parents in identifying activities that reinforce learning and development at home, helping children thrive both in school and beyond.
