EARLY YEARS

Playgroup in Karen

Sprout: the second of our four Early Years settings, where play starts to turn into learning.

Learning through play, on purpose

The EYFS is built on the idea that young children learn most through play that adults plan carefully and join in with. In Sprout, that means block-building that becomes counting, stories that become new words, and outdoor play that builds the strength and coordination writing will later need.

The seven areas of learning

Every Early Years setting at Elyton works across the seven areas the EYFS sets out:

  1. Communication and language
  2. Personal, social and emotional development
  3. Physical development
  4. Literacy
  5. Mathematics
  6. Understanding the world
  7. Expressive arts and design

The first three are the foundations, and they carry the most weight at Playgroup age.

A wing of their own

Sprout sits in our Early Years wing, apart from the older children, with its own rooms and outdoor ground. Classes are capped at twenty-five from our founding year, and that ceiling never moves to make room for one more.

Joining Sprout

Places are open for September 2026 and January 2027. Tell us your child's date of birth and Admissions will confirm whether Playgroup is the right setting. Admissions confirms every child's starting point after a short, relaxed "Meet your child" session.
