Early Years & KS1 

Our 2 year old provision, Rebels, is attached to our Nursery provision and  is the first step on the learning journey for our Caldicotes' children.

Children attend nursery for 5 sessions a week, either 5 mornings, 5 afternoons or 2½ days at the beginning or 2½ days at the end of the week.  We also have the flexibility to offer 30 hours provision for families who meet the criteria - check here. There is a connecting doorway within the setting that enables effective collaboration and transition between the two Early Years' rooms within our setting. Our provision is enhanced by the large outdoor area that all the children access to engage in a variety of learning activities. 

Miss Pounder leads our provision in Nursery.

Children who are 4 and will turn 5 before the end of the August of the school year, will begin full time education in Reception. Our provision links closely with our Rebels and Nursery provision, building upon previous learning, addressing identified needs to support the children to achieve the 'Early Learning Goals' by the end of their time in the setting. 

Reception children will participate in whole school events, performances and experiences which will prepare them for the national curriculum in Year 1.
