At Woolhampton CE Primary School we believe that every child deserves the best possible start in life and the most effective way to provide this is through a mix of planned activities and purposeful play, both indoors and out. This enables us to develop a wide range of skills and knowledge to promote physical, intellectual, linguistic, emotional, and behavioural and social development. We encourage children to explore, investigate, recreate and develop their understanding of their world. 

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework, which sets out statutory guidance on the standards that schools and childcare providers must meet for the learning, development and care of children under 5.
