The Hive Pre-School nurtures children in a wellbeing-focused environment. Even at this early stage of learning, we believe children benefit from being taught by qualified teachers. Working alongside experienced Early Years specialists, they help to create a supportive environment and meaningful opportunities for every child.
This first-class, intuitive teaching ensures every child transitions to Reception with confidence, an inquisitive nature and an excitement for learning. The Hive follows the latest Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum, which places a strong emphasis on exploration, investigation, discovery and problem-solving. During this first stage of learning, our experienced teaching staff primarily observe children as they play. They consider their interactions with activities, ask them appropriate, thought-provoking questions and encourage deeper thinking skills. Linking these components helps teachers to adopt a pedagogy which, in turn, creates bespoke learning opportunities to develop and challenge an enquiring mind.
We communicate closely with parents, keeping them involved in their child’s day-to-day pre-School life. Through Tapestry, our secure online learning platform, families can follow, support and contribute to their child’s learning as well as be involved in class assemblies, performances and whole-school community events.
