Eden

At St Columba's Catholic Primary our large Early Years Department is made up of three stages – Eden (our 2 yr old provision) the Nursery Class (3-4 years) and the Reception Class (4-5 years). We are very proud of our purpose built unit that provide a thorough and carefully designed pre-school education.

As in the main school the first and abiding priority is the education and welfare of each individual child. The curriculum is carefully planned, covering all areas of the development of each child.

The Early Years staff work closely as a team, making sure that all aspects of the child’s development is carefully monitored and a smooth transition into main stream education is ensured. The Early Years department follow the progressive and carefully planned Foundation Stage Curriculum.
