Early Years Unit - alternative name

[AnonyMouse_36875]

Dear all,

From September our school Nursery will no longer be run by a teacher but by an EYP. I am the Reception class teacher and EYs lead and will be overseeing the Nursery. We want to name our EYFS to incorporate both the Nursery and Reception but don't really like the word 'unit' as sounds a little institutionalised. Does anyone have any alternatives that we could refer ourselves to which is not 'EY's Unit'

Many Thanks ::1a

'foundation' as a sole word!

 

pre-school

 

or as the thesaurus says posse!

School I was involved in (pre eyfs I should add) we had a "bridging" unit. Know ypu don't want word unit but thought might provide further inspiration.

An attelier is a term from Reggio Emilia meaning an area of their classroom/school used for creative work, investigation, exploration and led by an attelierista.

 

Not sure about using it for a name in England though, as I think most people wouldn't know what it is!

There are a few places with that name springing up in England
