Welcome to the Early Years Foundation Stage at Browick Road Primary and Nursery School. We have three classes within our EYFS, catering for children from 2 to 5 years old. 

We admit children to our afternoon Nursery sessions from the beginning of the academic year in which they will turn 3. This age group may attend afternoon sessions only (12.00pm – 3.00pm). 

Our morning/full day sessions are open to children from the beginning of the academic year in which they turn 4. Children may attend from 9.00am – 12.00pm, 9.00am – 3.00pm, or a mixture of the two. The two Nursery groups mix during the afternoons.  

Children are admitted to our Reception class at the beginning of the academic year in which they will turn 5. Unfortunately, being a pupil at our Nursery does not guarantee a child a place in our Reception class. All applications for Reception places must be made through Norfolk County Council Admissions. For more information, please see the ‘Admissions to Reception’ section under the ‘Reception Class’ tab.

In all three classes, we base our practice on The Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework. You can find this document here:

We also use the non-statutory guidance in Development Matters – GOV.UK
