What does our curriculum look like in Reception Class?
In Reception we select topics to suit the children’s interests. Through finding out what the children are interested in we can tailor the curriculum accordingly. We follow the EYFS curriculum and we use Development Matters as the foundations for all the learning that occurs across our whole EYFS learning environment.

How do we reward children in Buttercup Class?
We believe in positive praise and always seek opportunities to reward the children. The children start the day on the “sunflower” and if they do something special they are rewarded by being put onto the “honey pot”. They then receive a sticker and share their achievements with the class.
