About the EYFS at London Fields Primary
Welcome to London Fields Early Years.
Nursery
Our Nursery is made up of 26 full time equivalent places. Part time pupils attend in the morning or afternoon. Our spacious Nursery area has adjoining bathrooms, a kitchen and gated outdoor garden. The garden comprises of a mud kitchen, water area and climbing wall which are enjoyed by pupils alongside many other resources to support their learning and development. The nursery pupils also have access to the Sheep Lane playground (used by Reception). In this larger space, children enjoy using the bikes and scooters and having their own ‘running lane’.
In Nursery, lunch is served in the classroom where there is a family style service (with a choice of a school dinner or packed lunch).
Reception
Our two Reception classes are made up of 30 children each. The classrooms are adjacent with direct access to the playground. Children access both the classrooms and the outdoor area throughout the day during continuous provision. The large outdoor area comprises of a mud kitchen, water area and construction area. Children have access to bikes and scooters. We also have an outdoor reading area to promote reading for pleasure.
In Reception, children eat in a small, Reception only dinner hall and are served by the Reception staff.
All EYFS children are greeted at the classroom door and are dismissed similarly at the end of the day. Entry for all EYFS pupils is via the Sheep Lane gate.
Pupil Development
In Nursery and Reception all children have their own ‘Learning Book’. These treasured books record the steps of progress of all our Early Years children and include photographs, written observations and work samples collected over a year. We value parents and carers partaking in their child's learning and will share these books during parents' evenings and open classroom mornings. We also regularly look through these books with the children to talk about shared memories, recognise steps of progress and celebrate learning.
