Reception Admissions

About our Reception

At Little Mead Reception we create an environment that is engaging, safe and fun. The children are encouraged to explore and learn through a balance of adult led activities and child-initiated play. We review the children’s development and needs daily and provide resources that enable them to discover new ideas, build upon their individual knowledge and understanding and experiment with ways of carrying out different tasks.

We want to enable them to be confident and independent learners who can communicate clearly and to develop understanding and positive relationships with peers and adults.
