Nursery
Welcome to EYFS
Our Early Years Foundation Stage consists of Nursery and Reception. We offer 15 and 30 hour provision and all children in EYFS can attend our wrap around care from 7:45-8:45am and 3:15-6pm. We enroll Nursery age children from the day after they turn three.
Everything we do in the EYFS is designed around play. Playing helps young children’s brains to develop and supports maturity in their language and communication skills. It is important to recognise the crucial role that play has in early childhood development.
Tapestry
We use the platform Tapestry to record observations of our children to capture learning and progress made. Once your child has been created a profile on Tapestry, parents will recieve an email to create their own account. We aim to work in partnership with our parents and welcome our families to upload photos and videos of home experiences, to share this with our staff. Follow the instructions below on how to access your parent Tapestry account.

Early Reading
At Saffron Green the children will develop an understanding of environmental sounds and body percussions to be able to distinguish sounds they can hear. They will explore rhythm and rhymes alongside stories and rhymes. Children will use these skills to then follow the systematic synthetics phonics programme, Read Write Inc in the Summer term.

Reading for pleasure
To promote children's love of reading, children will visit our school library where a chosen book will be read to the class and children will take home a library book weekly.
Spring 1
Welcome to Nursery!
This term our topic is My Community and Travel.
Following the Christmas holidays, we will be sharing how we celebrated Christmas with our families and the traditions we have at home.
We will look at the labels and logos on the toys to see if we can recognise and locate them through pictures. In Phonics we are beginning to learn our new sounds and what the initial sounds are in our name.
We will be taking part in more cooking and self help skills such as cutting, grating and peeling fruit. The children will be understanding the importance of healthy eating and how/why we brush our teeth - even having a go on some giant teeth!
We will be finding out about our theme of 'Winter' and animals that live in cold climates. We will look at the changes in our environment in Winter and then changes into spring. We will be going on a winter walk and thinking about what we will need to wear. Nursery will be using maps and understand all about different communities and places we are from.
Through all our learning the children will develop more knowledge of number and recognise how we need maths to support with our every day activities.
Everything we do in the EYFS is build around play. Playing helps young children’s brains to develop and supports maturity in their language and communication skills. It is important to recognise the crucial role that play has in early childhood development
