At The Little Dreamers Nursery, we passionately believe in laying a
strong educational foundation for our children, setting them on a path
to lifelong learning and success. Our Foundation Stage 2 (FS2) program
is meticulously crafted to harness the curiosity and creativity of young
minds, focusing intensely on nurturing emergent literacy and numeracy
skills. Through an innovative blend of the Early Years Foundation Stage
(EYFS) framework and the Development Matters guidance, FS2 at The Little
Dreamers is where the journey of reading and writing begins, and the
love for learning flourishes.
Embracing the Educational Journey
In FS2, our mission transcends beyond the traditional confines of
early education. We aim to ignite a passion for knowledge, fostering a
deep-seated love for reading and writing among our young learners. Our
dedicated educators employ a child-centric approach, recognizing and
nurturing individual talents and learning styles, ensuring that every
child feels supported, engaged, and motivated.
Reading: The Gateway to Learning
Understanding the pivotal role of reading in educational development,
our FS2 program emphasises phonics and early literacy skills. Utilising
engaging and interactive methods, children embark on a phonetic journey
exploring sounds, letters, and words. Our structured yet flexible
approach allows children to progress at their own pace, fostering
confidence and a sense of achievement as they begin to decode text,
engage with stories, and develop comprehension skills.
Our literacy-rich environment is designed to stimulate interest and
curiosity in reading. From cosy reading nooks filled with a diverse
range of books to storytime sessions that captivate and inspire, we
create numerous opportunities for children to immerse themselves in the
magical world of stories and literature.
Writing: Expressing Thoughts and Ideas
Writing in FS2 is not just about holding a pencil; it’s about
expressing thoughts, sharing ideas, and communicating with the world.
Through a variety of hands-on activities, children explore mark-making,
gradually progressing to writing letters, words, and eventually,
sentences. Our emphasis on fine motor skills ensures that children
develop the dexterity and control needed for writing, while creative
projects and journaling activities encourage them to use writing as a
form of expression and communication.
Numeracy: Building a Foundation for Mathematical Thinking
Mathematics in FS2 is an exciting adventure, filled with exploration
and discovery. Our program covers fundamental concepts such as counting,
number recognition, shapes, space, and measures, integrating these
skills into everyday activities and play. We strive to make maths
meaningful and fun, using practical experiences that children can relate
to, thus building a solid foundation for future mathematical learning
and reasoning.
A Comprehensive Learning Experience
At The Little Dreamers Nursery, FS2 is not just about academic
learning; it’s about developing the whole child. We integrate the arts,
physical education, and understanding the world into our curriculum,
providing a holistic education that nurtures creativity, physical
health, and a broad understanding of the world. Our inclusive approach
celebrates diversity, encourages empathy, and fosters social and
emotional development.
Looking Forward
As our FS2 children prepare to transition to the next stage of their
educational journey, they carry with them not just the skills, but the
confidence, curiosity, and love for learning that will serve them
throughout their lives. At The Little Dreamers Nursery, we are not just
teaching children to read and write; we are inspiring them to dream,
explore, and achieve.
