Welcome to Early Years at Churchfield! We are a small and devoted family unit who pride ourselves in our family ethos, where all children feel safe and valued.  

In our most recent Ofsted inspection, the inspectors found that: 

‘’The early years provides a good start to school. Children are deeply engrossed in their learning because adults know how to interest and challenge them effectively. Adults are skilled in giving children time to think for themselves. There is a buzz of learning and the Nursery and Reception classrooms are a hive of activity’’.  

Our Early Years setting caters for children aged 2 upwards. We have 3 phases; little scholars, Nursery and Caterpillars (Reception). Little Scholars caters for our 2-year-olds and prepares them for entry into our morning Nursery, where they learn as part of a mixed phased unit. Then they make the move up into our Reception (Caterpillars) class. Our team all work very closely together making sure we are always providing exciting and engaging topics and activities for the children across their Early Years journey.  

We pride ourselves on the various learning opportunities we provide across all Early Years classes including Forest Day, Outdoor adventures, Local environment walks and visits and Enrichments days. We also invite parents and carers into classrooms regularly to see their children in action and join in with the fun!  

Our fantastic school grounds, small class sizes and exciting learning opportunities in and outside of the classroom make Churchfield one of a kind! Our family ethos runs throughout the school we’d love you to book a visit to come and see for yourself. Take a look below at our Early Years children in action!
