Our Butterflies room is where our children can really learn to start spreading their wings and begin the process of becoming ready for reception as they progress through the EYFS. With everything from mark making, learning through play and reading as a group along with free flow indoor and outdoor play being a butterfly at Little Beeches is fun and forges independent, curious learners.
