THERE IS A SMOOTH TRANSITION INTO RECEPTION. THE TEAM WORK CLOSELY WITH THE NURSERIES TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY, AND ENABLE ENVIRONMENTS FOR CHILDREN TO THRIVE.
STEP INSIDE OUR PROVISION
Continuous provision is linked to a story or ‘learning experience’. With a vocabulary rich provision in mind, our ever-changing provision has the children’s interests at heart and an aim to offer opportunities to develop children’s next steps.
READING, WRITING AND MATHS
Children in Reception learn to read and write via our Read, Write, Inc. programme, as well as in adult-led activities, interwoven throughout their continuous provision. We have seen brilliant results using Read Write Inc. and are proud to be using the scheme.
Children are taught daily maths adult-led sessions, which children are encouraged to explore in their own play. At Eden Park, we deliver maths using a ‘mastery’ approach.
More information can be found in our guide for parents.
