Early Years Foundation Stage
At Newbold Church School we recognise the importance of providing our children with a stimulating learning environment. This is enabled by good quality provision and clearly organised open ended resources, both outside and in. We use natural colours and furnishings to create a calming, safe and secure space that helps the children feel free while at the same time enabling them to concentrate better when they need to. Whether they are counting shells, making potions or climbing on the activity trail, your child will be developing problem solving skills, self-awareness and all the while becoming happy, confident individuals who will go on to make a positive and valuable contribution to society
With good organisation and practitioners who really understand the way that young children learn, we have the capacity to provide the very best learning experience possible for our youngest children here at Newbold.
