The setting is thus able to deliver all your child’s Foundation Stage requirements maintaining constant, close liaison between the two classes, ensuring a smooth transition into formal education.Little Lyndhurst is a friendly, vibrant and family orientated setting forming an integral part of the whole school. Both classes are led by experienced and fully qualified teachers supported by experienced teaching assistants.

Pre-Reception is a happy, warm and welcoming place. We aim to provide a sensitive learning environment that meets the needs of every child. The plentiful outside space offers many opportunities for outside learning, exploration and play to take place. Our activities are fun, engaging, promoting confidence and independence.

Housed in the same purpose-built building as Pre-Reception, the Reception classroom and outside areas allow the children to continue to develop and grow through the principals of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).
