The Nursery aims to give children the best possible start to their education. The children follow the Early Years Foundation stage from birth to 5 years. They are encouraged to develop at their own pace in a caring, supportive atmosphere. Play is adult or child led and helps children to get to grips with the fundamentals. When they are ready the children are introduced to counting and number work. They may start reading and writing. French and music are introduced and taught by School specialists.

The pre-school children join the reception class three afternoons a week and enjoy the expertise of a qualified teacher, helping the transition to school.

Little Griffins has two named SENCO’s (Special Educational Needs coordinators) who are the Early Years Professionals. The role of the SENCO is to provide support for the children with special educational needs. There is a named Safeguarding of Children Coordinator ( SoCCO) whose role is to provide advice in the safeguarding of the children.
