Benefits of attending FS1 and FS2

Children enrolled in FS1 (Foundation Stage 1) and FS2 (Foundation Stage 2) at The Little Dreamers, experience numerous benefits that set them on a path to academic excellence. Here’s how our nursery supports their development and prepares them for future success:

1. Strong Early Foundation: FS1 and FS2 programmes focus on essential skills that provide a solid foundation for future learning. The blend of phonics, mathematics, and play-based learning ensures children develop crucial early skills while enjoying their educational journey.

2. Enhanced Academic Performance: Students who have completed their early years at The Little Dreamers, consistently excel in their subsequent schooling. The combination of structured learning and playful exploration equips them with advanced skills and a love for learning, contributing to their high academic performance in later years.

3. Personal Growth and Development: The nursery’s emphasis on the Curiosity Approach helps children build confidence, independence, and resilience. These qualities are fundamental as they transition to primary school and face new challenges.

Phonics and Maths in FS1 and FS2

At The Little Dreamers, phonics and mathematics are integrated into the curriculum from an early age, laying the groundwork for future academic success.

• Phonics in FS1 and FS2: In FS1, children begin with the basics of phonics, learning to recognize and articulate sounds. By FS2, they advance to blending sounds to form simple words and sentences. This early phonics instruction is crucial for developing reading and writing skills, which are essential for literacy and overall academic achievement.

• Mathematics in FS1 and FS2: The nursery’s math curriculum in FS1 focuses on basic concepts such as counting, number recognition, and simple shapes. In FS2, children delve into more complex topics like addition, subtraction, and pattern recognition. Early exposure to mathematics helps develop problem-solving skills and logical thinking, preparing students for more advanced mathematical concepts later on.
