EYFS

At Blueberry Park we are committed to the delivery of a high quality curriculum which provides a variety of opportunities for our children to develop as independent, resourceful, and curious learners. We want our children to have a desire to learn new things and challenge themselves each day. We work extremely hard with children and their families to develop their independent learning skills and excitement for learning.
