Early Years Provision at AMBPS
Building Strong Foundations for Every Child
At AMBPS, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, creating a nurturing environment where young learners build a strong educational foundation. Our approach is guided by four key principles:

Every child is unique – constantly learning, developing resilience, and growing into a confident, capable individual.
-
Positive relationships foster independence – children thrive when they feel secure, valued, and supported.
-
Enabling environments enhance learning – with responsive teaching, personalized support, and strong collaboration between educators and parents.

Children learn at different rates – our inclusive approach ensures that every child, including those with special educational needs (SEND), receives the care and education they need to succeed.
At AMBPS, we recognize and nurture the unique talents and needs of every child. Through play-based learning, creative exploration, and personalized guidance, we ensure that each student develops the confidence, skills, and passion for lifelong learning.
