A Caring Start to Your Child’s Learning Journey

Rooted in our school vision, Soaring With Compassion, Eden is a place where children feel happy, safe, and truly valued. We believe the early years are about much more than learning skills – they are about building confidence, kindness, and a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.

Our calm and welcoming environment supports children emotionally, socially, and academically, helping them settle happily and feel a strong sense of belonging from their very first day.

A Beautiful Setting and Expert Team

Eden is based in the Beech Hut, located next to the Reception classroom, helping to create a smooth and confident transition into school life. Our provision is led by a professional, experienced, and highly qualified team who are passionate about giving every child the very best start.

All activities are carefully planned in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), supporting progress across the seven areas of learning in a fun, engaging, and age-appropriate way.

Learning Through Play, Curiosity, and Care

We provide a stimulating yet relaxed setting where children learn through play, exploration, and meaningful experiences tailored to their individual interests and learning styles.

We place a strong emphasis on:

  • Communication and language – helping children express themselves with confidence

  • Social skills – learning to share, take turns, and build friendships

  • Independence – encouraging children to try things for themselves

  • Physical development and self-care – supporting healthy, active, and confident learners

 

Come and See Eden for Yourself

We would love to welcome you and your child to Eden and show you everything our wonderful Foundation Stage has to offer.
