All About Early Years
Commitment to Early Education
The Early Years Team at Bridgewater Park is genuinely passionate about giving children an exceptional start to their school life. We offer engaging opportunities for children to explore their interests, setting the foundation for a successful future.

School Values and Environment 

At our school, the values of kindness, integrity, and tenacity are woven into every aspect of our EYFS. We are committed not only to preparing our students academically for their future but also to nurturing them to their best selves. By fostering a safe, inspiring, and positive environment, we create a foundation for happiness, enthusiasm, and confidence in our learners. We believe that every child should be encouraged to dream big and excel in whatever path they choose, paving the way for a bright future.
Fostering a Love for Learning
We believe in empowering children to explore, take risks, play, discover, and create. Every small achievement is celebrated, as we aim to nurture a lifelong passion for learning in every child.
Forest School 
At our school, the incredible HLTA, Miss Lee, leads engaging weekly Forest School sessions with the children. This unique program provides a holistic and learner-led curriculum, empowering children to explore, take risks, and solve problems while discovering their potential—all in a nurturing outdoor setting. Rain or shine, our Early Years children thrive outside, whether joyfully splashing in muddy puddles or carefully nurturing their plants and vegetables in our own vibrant garden. Join us in fostering a love for nature and learning!
Supporting Early Development
At Bridgewater Park, we believe that early childhood experiences fundamentally shape a child's future. The period from birth to age five is crucial, and providing every child with the best possible start in life is our top priority. By offering the necessary support, we empower children to reach their fullest potential.
Our dedication to excellence is reflected in our adherence to the Development Matters and EYFS framework. We craft fun, engaging, and educational activities designed to enhance learning and spark curiosity. Utilising our observation tool, Evidence Me, we systematically collect and document a child’s progress and learning moments throughout the year. This approach allows us to identify learning gaps promptly, enabling us to tailor our focus for the upcoming term and ensure every child thrives.
