Encouraged to learn
Children are encouraged to learn with enjoyment and challenge through the provision of well-planned play experiences. When your child starts at High Hopes Day Nursery School, a Base Line assessment will be carried out within the first 6 weeks of their attendance. This provides your child’s key person with a starting point on which to base your child’s future learning.
At High Hopes Day Nursery School each child will have an individual online learning journey. The staff team will record and monitor your child’s development and progress in each of the areas. You will be able to access this through an online learning journal. We hope that during your time with us you will also contribute to your child’s learning journey. You will also be provided with a formal written report annually on your child’s progress.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
At High Hopes Day Nursery School, we follow
the
Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a
government
framework for learning,
development and care of
children from birth to
five.
Its purpose is to provide
all children with the
best possible learning opportunities
and
experiences to help each child reach their full
potential. This will ensure your child is ready for

when they leave High Hopes Day Nursery
School. The EYFS is grouped into three prime
areas and
four specific areas of learning, as follows:
