Early Years Education
At Tops Day Nurseries we know that you are the most important person in your child’s life. From you, they will achieve their first steps in language and communication, develop their physical skills and become social and develop friendships.
Early Years Education
We are here to support you and your child and it is important for us to work together to help your child develop to their full potential in the early years. For you, this means the opportunity to share information about your child’s growth and development both at home and at nursery. This will be through observations and discussions and reviewing your child’s development on a regular basis.
What is the Early Years Foundation Stage?
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) looks at the stages of development from birth to the end of the child’s first year in school (reception year). These years see the greatest growth and learning for your child. The EYFS is based on 4 overarching principles which shape good practice in early years setting.
Tops Education
At Tops, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to deliver play-based, child-led learning. Our experienced team uses varied approaches to foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence, preparing children for school and beyond.
Potty Training
We support children’s potty training with a consistent, positive approach at nursery and at home. Our staff make the transition out of nappies fun and encouraging, promote real (cloth) nappies to ease the process and reduce waste, and offer ongoing support and advice to families throughout the journey.
School Readiness
We prepare children for school by building familiarity and confidence through positive conversations and activities. Our approach helps children feel excited and ready for this important next step in their learning journey.
Learning Through Play
We believe children learn best through play, which helps develop skills like problem-solving, creativity, and social interaction. Our nurseries offer a variety of play experiences, both indoors and outdoors, that inspire curiosity and support all areas of development.
