New nursery provision opens for two-year-olds at Willenhall school
A £150,000 Department for Education grant has helped create a new early years provision at Fibbersley Park Academy, offering local families childcare and learning opportunities for their youngest children
Fibbersley Park Academy in Willenhall has opened a new provision for two-year-olds, providing early education and childcare for local families.
Little Foxes was officially opened last week following the development of a purpose-built learning environment funded by a £150,000 grant from the Department for Education.
The funding paid for the facilities, resources and equipment designed specifically for two-year-old children.
The provision aims to give children a positive start to their education through play, exploration and planned learning activities, supporting their social, emotional and academic development.
Headteacher Kathryn Sugars said: "We are incredibly proud to open Little Foxes and welcome our youngest learners into our school community.
"The Department for Education grant has enabled us to create a fantastic provision that will provide children with a safe, inspiring and supportive environment in which they can thrive."
The school said the new provision would help meet the needs of local families while giving young children access to early learning opportunities.
The opening was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
