Welcome to SIBS Early Years!

 

SIBS Cambridge Early Years marks the beginning of a remarkable learning journey for every child, and we are thrilled to be a part of this pivotal start in your child’s school life. We are proud to be the first school offering the prestigious Cambridge Early Years curriculum, which aligns our entire school and creates a seamless pathway from Early Years to Year 13. Our journey begins with our Tiger Cubs class, welcoming children from 1 year old up to Reception.

At SIBS Cambridge Early Years, we believe in a constructivist approach to learning, centred around the principles of the Cambridge Early Years curriculum. We recognize the uniqueness of each child and understand that children thrive in a holistic environment. We provide young learners with direct and meaningful experiences, fostering purposeful engagement. Through tailored learning experiences within our continuous provision, we cultivate innovative thinking, problem-solving skills, building relationships, and laying a strong foundation for exploration and learning. Our commitment to the outdoors, nature exploration, and engaging sensory play activities is deeply valued.

Our exceptional staff, with their intellectual diversity, varied life experiences, and unique approaches, enable us to understand and meet the diverse needs of our students. Diversity and inclusion are deeply ingrained in the fabric of our Early Years program.

At SIBS Cambridge Early Years, we place our young people at the core of everything we do. We firmly believe that every child should delight in their time at school, where they have the opportunity to explore beyond the confines of the classroom, forge new friendships, embrace exciting possibilities, and most importantly, have fun. Through collaboration and partnership, we continuously enhance and strengthen the success of our Early Years school.
