Reception

Welcome to Reception
Hello and welcome to our Reception web page. Here you will find information about our Reception classes and what the children are learning.
Please check this page, along with Tapestry on a regular basis.![]()
We create a safe and happy environment with motivating and enjoyable learning experiences that enable children to become confident and independent learners. As outlined in Development Matters September 2021 “When we give every child the best start in their early years, we give them what they need today. We also set them up with every chance of success tomorrow.”

The resources on this page will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.

Supporting Healthy Eating and Healthy Teeth
🦷 Achieving Healthy Smiles – Nursery & Reception
We are proud to have achieved the Achieving Healthy Smiles Programme! 🌟
In Nursery and Reception, we promote positive oral health habits throughout the year, helping children to understand why looking after their teeth is important and supporting them to develop healthy routines from an early age.
We promote healthy smiles through:
Discussions and activities about brushing teeth and keeping our mouths healthy.
Stories, songs and role play to make learning about oral health fun and memorable.
Healthy eating choices, helping children to recognise foods and drinks that are good for their teeth.
Encouraging children to choose water and milk and understand the impact of sugary drinks.
Creative activities and displays linked to healthy teeth and healthy lifestyles.
Working with families, sharing information and ideas to encourage healthy routines at home.
Promoting the importance of regular dental check-ups and visiting the dentist.
Through our everyday practice and curriculum, we ensure that healthy smiles are part of our children's learning, routines and wider wellbeing.
Healthy habits today help create healthy smiles for life!
