Home Visits
Our EYFS staff will be offering you the chance to schedule a home visit. These provide a valuable opportunity for you to ask questions in the comfort of your own home. It also allows our EYFS staff to meet and interact with your child in their home environment; we are sure they will have lots of questions of their own to ask too!
