Hemlington Hall Academy

Our Nursery staff are: Mrs Geaves, Mrs Clark, Mrs Ford, Miss Bryan and Mrs Jennings. Our Reception staff are: Miss Williams and Miss Monehen. We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is crucial in securing strong foundations for lifelong learning.

Children develop more rapidly from birth to five than at any other time, and high-quality early experiences have a lasting impact on future learning, wellbeing, and life chances. A safe, secure, and happy childhood is important in its own right, and underpins all that we do.

It is our intent that children entering our EYFS develop physically, verbally, cognitively, and emotionally, while building confidence, independence, and a positive attitude to learning. We value every child as a unique individual and are committed to inclusion, equality, and high expectations for all.

By understanding children's starting points, interests, and needs, we design a flexible and ambitious EYFS curriculum that supports all children to make strong progress from their individual starting points.
