Provision Statement
The provision in EYFS at St Nicholas C of E Primary Academy is centred around enabling every child to shine. By ensuring that “Children are at the centre of all we do”, the weekly/ termly theme allows the children to be immersed in a vocabulary-rich environment where they can explore and make connections which help them to flourish. We will often link our weekly provision to a story, song or theme where they are then given opportunities and experiences to ignite a passion for and a life-long love of learning.
