Learning Through Play
At Milton Mount Playgroup, play is at the very heart of everything we do. Through spontaneous, guided, and sensory play, children learn to navigate the world, express emotions, build relationships, and develop lifelong confidence.
Creative & Messy Play
From painting and playdough to sand, water, and cooking activities, our vibrant sensory experiences develop fine motor control, curiosity, and creative problem solving.
Spacious Environment
Our setting within the community centre provides generous indoor room and safe outdoor play, enabling energetic physical activities, balance, and cooperative games.
Dedicated Key Persons
Every child is paired with a qualified key worker who tailors individual learning goals, tracks milestones in their learning journal, and works in close partnership with parents.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
We follow the statutory framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, which outlines seven areas of learning and development that guide educational programs for children aged birth to five.
Prime Areas of Learning:
- • Communication and Language: listening, attention, and expressive vocabulary.
- • Physical Development: gross and fine motor coordination, health, and self-care.
- • Personal, Social and Emotional Development: making relationships, self-confidence, and managing feelings.
Specific Areas of Learning:
- • Literacy: storytelling, mark-making, phonological awareness, and early reading.
- • Mathematics: counting, shapes, spatial awareness, and problem solving.
- • Understanding the World: people, communities, nature, and technology.
- • Expressive Arts and Design: role-play, music, dance, and imaginative crafting.
