In our Early Years department, we have our two year old provision, morning and afternoon Nursery (including 30hrs provision) and two Reception classes.

From the very first moment the children enter our care, we believe in providing them with a safe and stimulating environment where each child can be themselves. We pride ourselves on listening to children and those who care for them, and using this information to personalise learning. We believe that every child is unique and should be treated so, allowing them the opportunity to develop and learn in a nurturing environment where play and learning are one. Learning at Fairchildes is both fun and challenging.

 We strongly believe in first-hand experience, valuing the importance of the outdoor environment and the development of children’s thinking and problem solving skills. We encourage our children to engage in lots of sensory messy play to help them explore the world around them. So, your children may come home with messy clothes! Don’t be cross with them, just know it means they’ve had lots of fun and been learning too!

We strive to equip children with a love of learning and a natural curiosity.  We are committed to giving our children the best possible start to their school life, teaching them skills which ensure their well-being now and success in the future.

The staff in EYFS promise our children that by the time you leave us:

1. You will have had fun, discovered your talents and celebrated many successes along the way.
2. You will love learning and want to keep on learning more.
3. You will know that life is a fantastic adventure, and have the confidence to take on the challenges that await you and curiosity to see what the world has to offer.
4. You will have grown healthy and strong and have an understanding of how to look after your body and keep yourself safe.
5. You will have friends and will have learnt to treat other people with fairness, kindness and respect.
