Early Years Foundation Stage

“Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfill their potential. A child’s experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.” ‘

EYFS at Heron is an enriching, creative and stimulating environment in which to learn and our aim is for your child to have a positive and inspiring start to their school life with us. We strive to provide an exciting and inspiring curriculum that allows children to learn through imaginative and real-life experiences. We aim to follow children’s interests and plan through careful assessment of their own needs and interests.

We hope your child will have a fantastic time learning at Heron and will thrive in our learning environment. We are a friendly and welcoming team who promise to take good care of your children. If you ever need to speak to a member of the team, please do not hesitate to contact us.
