What to expect, when? A parents’ guide
The purpose of this booklet is to help you as a parent/carer find out more about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years, in relation to the EYFS. Children develop more rapidly during the first five years of their lives than at any other time. This booklet has been written to help you as a parent know what to expect during these vitally important years by focusing on the seven areas of learning and development which are covered in the EYFS.

My Child's First Day At School
Sometimes it is the parents who find the first day more difficult that their children. At St Nics we usually do a parents coffee & tea morning so you can come in to the main hall so you can give each other moral support!
Reception Baseline Assessment
From September 2020 we have been required to carry out a baseline assessment for the Government. This will not replace our own baseline assessment which we will use to inform our own teaching.
Reception Screener
Early on we ask our speech and language therapist to carry out a diagnostic screening assessment with every child. We have found this incredibly useful and effective at picking up possible problems and doing something to support very much earlier than we would otherwise be able to. The video below explains what happens and how we use the information.
