Early Years is a successful, thriving, exciting and integral
part of Abberley Hall. In a happy, caring environment it is our aim
to ensure that every child feels special. We provide children with
a gentle introduction to school life whilst establishing solid
foundations.
We cater for the needs of our youngest children in spacious,
specifically designed accommodation with excellent facilities and
resources. The Early Years offers a well structured range of
child-initiated play, practical activities and adult led learning
to help children grow physically, intellectually, emotionally and
socially during their early years. Children are provided
opportunities to build on key learning skills such as speaking,
listening, concentration and learning to work together and
co-operate with their peers.
Children move into the Reception class at the beginning of the
academic year following their fourth birthday. In addition to
light, bright, well-resourced classrooms with interactive white
boards, the Early Years have use of the Pre-Prep Library and many
of the main school facilities.
The outdoor environment is very important to life and learning in
Early Years and the children are lucky to enjoy the country
surroundings and a wonderful adventure playground.
