Nursery
Welcome to EYFS
Our Early Years Foundation Stage consists of Nursery and Reception. We offer 15 and 30 hour provision and all children in EYFS can attend our wrap around care from 7:45-8:45am and 3:15-6pm. We enroll Nursery age children from the day after they turn three.
Tapestry
We use the platform Tapestry to record observations of our children to capture learning and progress made. Once your child has been created a profile on Tapestry, parents will recieve an email to create their own account. We aim to work in partnership with our parents and welcome our families to upload photos and videos of home experiences, to share this with our staff. Follow the instructions below on how to access your parent Tapestry account.
Early Reading
At Saffron Green we follow the systematic synthetics phonics programme, Read Write Inc.

Reading for pleasure
To promote children's love of reading, children will visit our school library where a chosen book will be read to the class and children will take home a library book weekly.
Autumn 2
Welcome to Nursery!
This term our topic is All about me and Celebrations. The children will be learning everything that makes them unique and special. Exploring our body, feelings, where we live and much more! We are going to be exploring a variety of exciting celebrations from around the world, including Diwali, Christmas, and Hanukkah. Through these celebrations, the children will learn about different cultures and traditions, broadening their understanding of the world.
Children in Nursery have loved reading the story ‘The Gruffalo’. They have become very involved in our small group activities such as; building all the animals' houses, creating our own Gruffalo paintings and making play dough that looks like all the animals from the book.
In Maths Nursery have been learning all about the numbers 1, 2 and 3 individually and together. We have explored different ways to make our numbers and what they look like. The children have been on number hunts and strengthened their knowledge of colour.
We have lots of fun everyday in Nursery!
Everything we do in the EYFS is build around play. Playing helps young children’s brains to develop and supports maturity in their language and communication skills. It is important to recognise the crucial role that play has in early childhood development
