At Beaver Road, our Reception children thrive in a vibrant, nurturing environment that encourages exploration and creativity. Our ambitious, play-based curriculum is carefully designed to help children build strong foundations in literacy and mathematics, essential for their future learning.

We focus on developing the whole child, fostering social, emotional, physical, and cognitive skills. Through engaging activities such as talking, writing, collaboration, and counting, we empower children to become active participants in their learning, nurturing their curiosity and confidence.

Our teaching is informed by the latest research, highlighting the critical role of early years in shaping lifelong success. We emphasize the characteristics of effective learning, enabling children to develop independence and resilience. This approach not only supports their academic growth but also promotes healthy mental and emotional well-being.

By integrating the prime and specific areas of learning, we provide a rich and interconnected curriculum that appeals to children’s interests, ensuring they enjoy a well-rounded and enriching experience. At Beaver Road, we are committed to giving every child the best start on their educational journey.

“The early years are a crucial time for development and we know that quality of teaching has the single biggest impact on how well children do in school.” Sir Kevan Collins, Chief Executive of the Education Endowment Foundation

We are committed to quality teaching and we value and respect our parents at Beaver Road. Parents are the experts on their own children and they are the child's first and enduring educators. We work to keep parents well informed and involved in their child’s learning and development. Our curriculum does not stop at the classroom door.

'The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child's own natural desire to learn' Maria Montessori
