Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). At SMFR, we believe that a child’s first experience of school should be a magical, inspiring journey. Our Nursery and Reception classes provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where curious minds are encouraged to explore, create, and thrive through a balance of child-initiated play and adult-led learning.
