All children deserve the care and support they need to have the best start in life. Children learn and develop at a faster rate from birth to five years old than at any other time in their lives, so their experiences in early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to fulfil their potential.
Statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, Department for Children, Schools and Families, 2024
We believe that the Early Years Foundation Stage plays a crucial role in developing a love of learning for our children. The Early Years Foundation Stage at Keeble Gateway inspires our youngest learners, providing them with opportunities to follow their interests to ensure future success. We strive to ensure our children are happy, enthusiastic and confident learners with the skills, knowledge and understanding they need, to prepare them for future challenges.
