Early Years Foundation Stage
All Early Years' providers are required to abide by the standards for children's learning, development and care as set out in the 'Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage'.
At Salehurst, our youngest pupils are provided with stimulating indoor and outdoor learning environments, enabling them to learn effectively by:
* playing and exploring
