The Kindergarten at Annan School, takes children from 2.5 years and is in a beautiful rural location between Lewes and Uckfield at Easons Green. The Kindergarten is run with a strong, Froebelian influence, where the belief is that, through engaging with the world, understanding unfolds. Annan values giving children opportunities for uninterrupted play - as a creative activity and a way for children to learn and discover about the world around them. The Kindergarten has it's own unit next to the Infant House at Annan School. There are several large rooms providing beautiful areas for block play, art and craft/cooking, role play, small world and quiet activity. In the Kindergarten, all the requirements of the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) are met. Play and other learning materials are mostly made of wood and other natural materials that allow for open ended play and the opportunity for each child’s imaginative and creative play to be set free. Outside is a lovely garden with areas for physical play with loose part materials, water play, a mud kitchen, a large sandpit and allotment area. Children regularly visit the adjacent woods as an integral part of their learning. Children are able to continue their early years’ experience at Annan, if they wish, by continuing into the infant and junior school for children up to the age of 11.
