THIS IS SHERFIELDEarly Years
At Sherfield Early Years, we inspire happy, kind and confident children from birth to five. Our youngest learners flourish in an environment where curiosity is encouraged, friendships are nurtured, and a love for the outdoors blossoms.
We emphasise helping each child develop their academic, physical and social skills. All Early Years children have a designated person to help them settle in and liaise with parents.
Our youngest children enjoy a nurturing and caring learning environment with our encouraging Early Years staff. With frequent walks and outdoor activities, the children experience nature and enjoy wildlife in Sherfield’s beautiful surroundings.
You are welcome to visit our Early Years Centre to see them learn and play, and to take in the stunning grounds and buildings.
Contact us on admissions@sherfieldschool.co.uk to arrange a visit.

Early Years Centre Structure
| Caterpillars |
|---|
|
Our Caterpillar room is for children aged 3 to 19 months. In this room, we encourage the children to learn through sensory and explorative play. With this, we are inspired by the curiosity approach, which aims to create a natural and curious environment for children to thrive and flourish, aligning with our pedagogy.

| Ladybirds |
|
Our Ladybird room is for children aged 18/19 to 30 months. In this room, we encourage children to further their learning through discovery and adventure as they explore schemas and create strengthened relationships with others.
|
| Butterflies |
|
Our Butterflies room is for children aged 30 months to the September before they go to school. In this room we develop their independence and confidence. Our outstanding staff encourage children as their learning develops and they become used to structure. Children have regular visits to the school library. They enjoy music and movement sessions in the dance studio. Sherfield’s young children also love our outdoor spaces. The Early Years garden has a superb range of outdoor equipment. There are areas to dig and play, and trails to explore. Throughout their time in Butterflies, children learn independence as they prepare for Pre-Reception. They are given chances to make more choices, which increases confidence and communication. Regular visits to the school library and hands-on sessions with our Clever Touch Smart Boards ensure that children learn through play in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum.
