Mathematics in the EYFS

Mathematics is an important area of learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage, helping children develop a strong understanding of numbers, patterns, shapes, and measures. Through hands-on, practical experiences—such as counting objects, exploring shapes, comparing sizes, and solving simple problems—children begin to make sense of the world around them.

We create a fun and interactive environment where children enjoy exploring maths through play, conversation, and everyday routines.

Below are some pictures of our children enjoying and engaging in Mathematics activities throughout the years.
