Reception

In reception, children learn the most important things not by being told what to do, but by constructing knowledge for themselves through interaction with the physical world and with other children. They learn best by combining their ideas, impressions and intuitions with experiences and opinions.

We place great emphasis on giving our children opportunities to create ideas about their world and to share them with one another. This kind of self-directed learning also leads to feelings of competence and success, and it allows children to develop and build self-confidence.
