In the Early Years , children develop their mathematical skills through play, exploration, active learning, and critical thinking, both indoors and outdoors. We provide a balance of continuous provision, routines, incidental learning opportunities, and carefully planned sessions, ensuring that children build a secure understanding of early mathematics.

Children build a secure understanding of number through counting, recognising and representing numbers, as well as beginning to explore simple addition and subtraction. They also develop their understanding of patterns and relationships within numbers.

In addition, children explore shape, space and measure by investigating 2D and 3D shapes, using positional language and making comparisons.

These experiences support children in becoming confident, curious and independent mathematicians.
