Foxes Pre-School 2025 - 2026
Mrs Webster Foxes
Hello, my name is Mrs Webster and I have worked at Woodlands for many years, both in Nursery and Reception.
I have a passion for Early Years Education and giving each child the very best start to their school life!
In my spare time I love running, baking and spending time with my husband and our two grown up daughters, Freja and Klara. I also have a little puppy, Lottie, who I love taking for long walks. In the holidays, I enjoy visiting my family and friends in Sweden where I grew up. I am really excited to get to know all of the children in Foxes.
A very warm welcome to Foxes Pre-School!
We would like to give a very warm welcome to Foxes Pre-School children. The children are very lucky to work alongside a team of experienced professionals who move between the spaces and provide lots of opportunities to have fun, explore and learn.
Are you ready for an adventure?
Summer 1: Amazing Animals
We teach mark making and early writing skills through Drawing Club. Each week we explore a different text, traditional tale or animation and use it to inspire our drawings and emergent writing.

Can join in with rhyme games and stories/suggest rhyming words.
Start to recognise words with the same initial sounds.
Engage in conversations about stories, learning new vocabulary.

Our maths targets for Summer will be:
Develop fast recognition of up to 3 objects, without having to count them individually (‘subitising’).
Know that the last number reached when counting a small set of objects tells you how many there are in total (‘cardinal principle’).
Show ‘finger numbers’ up to 5.
Link numerals and amounts for numbers 1-5.
Compare quantities using language: ‘more’ and ‘less’.
Talk about and explore 2D shapes using informal and mathematical language: ‘sides’, ‘corners’; ‘straight’, ‘flat’, ‘round’.
Understand positional language and using words such as; ‘in front of’ and ‘behind’.
P.E
Please make sure that your child wears their PE kit to school on their PE day (Tuesday will be an indoor kit and Thursday will be an outdoor kit).
Indoor kit: a white t-shirt, black shorts, pumps and socks (or anything suitable).
Outdoor kit: plain, dark coloured jogging bottoms, a jumper or hoodie and outdoor trainers and socks (or anything suitable).
Polite requests:
Please send your child with a labelled bag and water bottle (water only). Could you also provide your child with spare clothes and a nappy/pull up, nappy sack and wipes if your child is not yet toilet trained.
Please label ALL of your child's belongings.
Please inform of any changes in advance of the adult that will be collecting at the end of the day (Children under the age of 16, will not be permitted to collect a child).
The outdoor environment is set up prior to arrival, please do not allow your child to play on the equipment.
As part of their curriculum, the children are encouraged to access outdoors, exploring and learning about the environment. We like to take the children outside whether it's sunny, rainy, windy or snowy. Having a coat in school will facilitate this.
Please encourage independence with health and self-care, including dressing and toileting.
We value your contributions to your child's learning journal. Each class has an E-mail address (see below) to allow you to send us pictures of your children doing things at home. You can also add pictures and activites to your child's Tapestry.
