Welcome to Butterfly Class!
Our Early Years setting is a vibrant, playful, and nurturing environment where children thrive. We offer a wide range of engaging indoor and outdoor activities, including painting, playdough, sand and water play, construction toys, role play, stories and rhymes, singing and dancing, climbing, mark-making, and number and problem-solving activities.
Our dedicated and highly trained staff get to know each child individually, providing personalised learning, development, and care. We carefully observe and assess children's interests and progress within the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum.
We highly value our strong relationships with parents, which are supported through our online learning journal, Tapestry. Tapestry allows us to share observations and celebrate children's learning with you, and you can also contribute your own observations, comments, and photos from home.
