Pre-school - Saplings
*Places available*
Callow End Pre-School (Saplings) is part of our main school and based in the Early Years Unit, alongside Ash Class (Reception). The helps to ensure a smooth transition for children progressing into their reception year. Children become familiar with all staff in the unit, as well as with the routines, environments, and expectations.
The curriculum is delivered through continuous and enhanced provision, whole group input, and high- quality adult interactions. The daily enhanced provision is linked to children’s interests, book of the week and half-termly topics, with adults extending children’s learning by introducing and expanding vocabulary. Whole group inputs include: daily phonics sessions, weekly PE, Woodland School sessions and RSHE discussions. The children also have unlimited access to an exciting designated Early Years outdoor area and garden.
