Welcome to Meadow Green Reception

In Reception, we have:

Mrs Cooper - Teacher

Miss Maynard - Teaching Assistant

At Meadow Green Reception, we are passionate about helping every child feel happy, confident and secure from the very beginning of their school journey. We provide a nurturing and stimulating environment where children are encouraged to become independent learners through play, exploration and meaningful experiences.

Key Information

We place a strong emphasis on developing children’s confidence and independence as soon as they start school.

Children are encouraged to take responsibility for their own belongings, including using their own:

• coat pegs
• named trays
• book bags

Every child should bring the following items to school each day:

• a named water bottle
• a book bag containing their reading book and reading record
• a named PE kit

Our Curriculum

In Reception, we closely follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, which supports children’s learning and development across all areas of the curriculum.

We carefully plan learning opportunities around the children’s interests and individual needs, helping to make learning exciting, engaging and meaningful. Recent topics have included:

• animals
• traditional stories
• clothes
• and many more!

Children learn through a balance of adult-led activities and child-initiated play. We make full use of our carefully planned indoor learning environment as well as our beautiful outdoor spaces to support active, hands-on learning experiences.

We use Little Wandle to teach phonics and place a strong emphasis on developing early reading and maths skills throughout the year.
