INTENT

FOUNDATION STAGE 1

For many children, Nursery marks their first step into the world of education—and at Chantry Community Primary School, we ensure that step is filled with joy, discovery, and growth. Our Nursery provides a rich, stimulating environment that is warm, welcoming, and safe, helping every child feel happy, secure and ready to learn.

Children thrive here through play, exploration, experimentation, and social interaction. Guided by qualified teachers and highly skilled support staff, they engage in exciting and challenging activities that spark curiosity and foster a lifelong love of learning.

IMPACT

Our dedicated Nursery team work collaboratively to observe and assess each child’s progress. We document their achievements; whether through paintings, drawings, writing, or photographs; using Tapestry, our secure online learning journal. Parents can access Tapestry to stay connected with their child’s learning journey and celebrate their milestones.

CURRICULUM

EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE (EYFS)

We follow the 2025 Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework, which sets national standards for learning, development, and care for children from birth to age five.

At Chantry Community Primary School, the Foundation Stage applies to all children aged 3 to 5 covering both our Nursery and Reception classes. The EYFS curriculum is built around seven areas of learning and development, each equally vital in shaping a well-rounded early education.
