Exciting News
Our setting is currently involved in an ‘Early Language Project’ with Oxfordshire County Council.
In nursery we make careful observations and records of all the children’s progress in all areas of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage. As part of this project we will be sharing information about progress in Communication and Language and Literacy(Reading) for a small group of children with Oxfordshire County Council(parents of children chosen have been informed).
This project will enable our team to receive additional training around ways to support children’s early speech, language and communication development. We will also receive a sum of money to spend on some new resources that will further enhance our environment. We can choose how we spend this and will let you know what we bought!
If you have any questions please come and talk to us in the Nursery.
