‘All children deserve the care and support they need to have the best start in life. Children learn and develop at a faster rate from birth to five years old than at any other time in their lives, so their experiences in early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to fulfil their potential.’- EYFS Statutory Framework, September 2025.
At Delph Side Primary School, we firmly believe that the early years of a child’s life count. We believe that it is our duty to provide all children with the secure foundations they need in order to flourish. We aim to instill a love of learning and thirst for knowledge in all children so that they can become resilient and successful learners.
Our EYFS is organised into three classes:
- Nursery - 2 year olds
- Pre-School - 3-4 year olds
- Reception - 4-5 year olds
