We keep our class sizes small across Early Years so we can really get to know each child. Each class has a teacher and teaching assistant, with our nannies supporting in Nursery and KG. This means children get lots of attention and support throughout the day. For the most up-to-date class sizes, admissions will be able to help.

How We Learn: Playing, Exploring, Creating
Playing
At Sathorn, play is the foundation of all learning in the Early Years. We create rich, engaging environments where children are free to explore, imagine, and investigate through hands-on, playful experiences. Through purposeful play, our youngest learners develop confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Exploring
Exploring supports children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn about the world around them. Through exploration, children engage with their environment using all their senses, investigating objects, materials, and spaces in a hands-on and meaningful way.
Creating
Creating encourages children to express themselves through a wide range of imaginative and artistic experiences. Whether through drawing, painting, building, role-play, music, or storytelling, creative activities allow children to explore their ideas, emotions, and understanding of the world.

Safeguarding in the Early Years at Our School
At our school, we are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of safeguarding within the Early Years (EY) setting. Our Early Years Designated Safeguarding Lead (EYDSL) works in close partnership with the whole-school Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to provide expert oversight and support for our youngest children.
Our safeguarding practices include clear and comprehensive intimate care policies and procedures, thorough risk assessments tailored specifically to the EY environment, and regular safeguarding training for all staff. This ensures that our team is well-informed, confident, and prepared to protect every child.
We also educate our Early Years children about protective behaviours in an age-appropriate manner. This helps them understand how to stay safe, recognise when they need help, and confidently seek support when necessary.
Additionally, we work closely with new parents, providing guidance and support on safeguarding their children both in and out of school, ensuring a safe and secure environment for all.

Last week, our Year 1 children went to visit a church as part of their topic, “Places in Our Community.”
During this meaningful experience, the children learned about the church and its role within the community. They explored what people do there, why it is a special place for many people, and developed a deeper understanding of respect, curiosity, and appreciation for different places and people in their community.
We would also like to extend our sincere thanks for warmly welcoming our children and for your kindness, support, and generous hospitality. Thank you for making this such a memorable learning experience for our young learners.
