EYFS Beginning September 2023

We are delighted to have the privilege of caring for the learning and development of your child within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The EYFS is how the Government and early years professionals describe the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5. This is a very important stage as it helps your child get ready for school life as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes. From when your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years experience should be positive, active, exciting, fun and secure. It should support their development, care and learning to ensure they are positive and curious learners. Here at Bassingbourn Primary we are passionate about giving your child the best and most positive start to their schooling life. If you would like to view our school please contact our school office.
