Early Years Foundation Stage

In our two Reception classes, Poppy and Buttercup, we ensure that every child’s journey starts with care, curiosity, and joy!

We are committed to nurturing each child as a unique individual, ensuring they feel valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We focus on creating a safe and stimulating environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace, with activities tailored to their interests and needs. 

Our dedicated team works closely with families to build strong foundations for learning, confidence, and happiness, ensuring every child feels ready and excited for the adventures ahead. Together, we celebrate every milestone, big and small, making their first steps in education truly special. Our rich variety of topic themes, alongside the consideration of interests within the cohort, allow us to create a bespoke curriculum for our children and ensures the best possible outcomes.

At Springfield Primary School, we ensure a smooth and supportive transition from Reception to Year 1 by continuing the principles of continuous provision. This approach allows children to build on their learning from EYFS in a familiar and engaging environment. In the Year 1 Autumn term, children continue to learn through structured play and hands-on activities, gradually introducing more formal learning opportunities as the year progresses. Our carefully designed curriculum builds on their existing skills, fostering independence, curiosity, and confidence. 

As the year advances, teacher-led sessions increase in length and structure, ensuring children develop the skills and readiness required for Year 2. By maintaining a balance of exploration, guided learning, and increasing challenge, we support every child’s smooth progression through their learning journey.
