PARENTS
Better together
When parents and practitioners work together in the setting, the results have a positive impact on children's learning and development.
We encourage parents to share their opinions about our setting and play an active part in fundraising so that we can provide fun and relevant resources.

The EYFS covers 7 areas of learning:
