Early Years at Milton Park

What a Great time we are having in EYFS!

A message from Mrs Backler the EYFS Leader 

Hello, and welcome to all our new children and their families who have joined our Milton Park family.

We are so proud of how amazingly well the children have settled into school over the last few weeks. They are becoming independent and resilient learners who have decided between them which rules should apply to keep our environment a happy, safe and fun place to be.

We aim to open Tapestry, our online learning journal, to parents in the next couple of weeks so you can share in the experiences your children are having at school. The great thing about Tapestry is that YOU can also upload learning experiences you children have at home.

As of Monday 28th September we will be opening our doors from 8.30-8.50 in the mornings. We hope this will ease congestion in the mornings. 

The gates will then open at 3.00pm for home time, please remember to social distance yourselves to keep you and your family safe.

Lets hope the sun keeps shining through to half term, although to be honest we make enough sunshine in EYFS to light up the World!!!
