Our preschool setting offers a warm, inclusive, and engaging environment where children feel safe, valued, and excited to learn. Through daily routines, creative play, and hands-on exploration, young learners begin to build essential early skills such as focus, memory, and self-regulation.
We encourage independence and confidence, helping children to develop communication skills, emotional awareness, social relationships, and both fine and gross motor abilities — laying the foundation for lifelong learning and wellbeing.
Early Years at SVIS
At SVIS , our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) provides a nurturing and stimulating start to a child’s educational journey. We believe in creating a balanced environment where purposeful play and structured learning experiences work hand in hand to foster curiosity, creativity, and confidence. Children are encouraged to explore, question, and learn through both adult-guided activities and their own interests, inside and outside the classroom.
We focus on seven interconnected areas of learning, ensuring a holistic approach to every child’s development — nurturing their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth.

EY1 Overview
In Early year Stage 1 (EY1), learning is centred around the three Prime Areas of the EYFS:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
Our daily routines and interactive activities nurture early communication, listening, and movement skills, which are key to success in later school years.
Children begin Phase 1 Phonics, learning to listen carefully, recognise and differentiate sounds — an essential first step toward reading and writing.
We also introduce early mark-making to spark an interest in writing, and daily mathematical routines to strengthen number sense and problem-solving skills.
Throughout, we prioritise emotional growth, helping children make friends, manage feelings, and learn cooperatively through play.
EY2 Overview
In Early year Stage 2 (EY2), children continue their journey toward achieving the Early Learning Goals in all seven areas of the EYFS. The focus expands to include greater confidence in language, reading, writing, and mathematics, while building curiosity about the world around them.
Children participate in daily Phonics sessions, beginning to read and write with enthusiasm and understanding. Learning is enriched through child-led topics and real-life experiences, inspiring critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.
Our curriculum remains broad, balanced, and imaginative, ensuring every child feels empowered, capable, and eager to learn.
