EYFS Mouse Club

Supporting positive partnerships for learning between families and EYFS settings

£350.00

Mouse Club supports the development of positive partnerships for learning between families and EYFS settings. Children receive a toy mouse as a transitional object before starting their educational journey.

The project gives parents and carers the opportunity to meet school staff as partners in their child’s development, sharing their knowledge of their child, their strengths and aptitudes.

Using the project framework and resources, staff support the families’ understanding of how their children learn and what they can do to provide a positive home learning environment. At stay and play sessions families are shown approaches to learning that they can support through fun activities both at home and in school.

Mouse Club is designed to be a flexible project that schools can deliver and adapt to suit the needs of their school community. The resources can be used with a ‘target’ group or universally.

Mouse Club consists of a project pack, downloadable resources, and a starter pack of 8 toy mice, 8 Mouse Club bags and 8 ‘My Very Own Mouse’ books.
The project pack includes activity cards, reward charts, leaflets for parents, and supporting materials like an “All About Me” booklet.
Additional mice, bags and books are available to buy individually.

Product Description
The project gives parents and carers the opportunity to work with school staff as partners in their child’s development, sharing their knowledge of their child, their strengths and aptitudes. Using the project framework and resources, staff support the families’ understanding of ‘school readiness’ and provide opportunities for the families to meet and engage in fun activities to ensure their children are ready for learning. Once children have begun school, the school can continue to support parents to provide a stimulating home learning environment.
“With my older children I didn’t really come to things at school. Being involved with Mouse Club and getting to know the teachers changed everything. Now I have a good relationship with the school, I feel part of a community and I understand much more how to help my children. They are doing so much better now.” Parent, St Margarets Primary School
“The children loved getting Mouse ready for school and it has had a big impact on the nursery e.g. the previous year, thirty children weren’t toilet trained – this year it was three.” PSA, Stanley Grove Primary Academy “Mouse Club has had a positive impact in our school, and it has shifted the focus of the parents’ role, they are beginning to see themselves as partners in learning. The parents feel they are working together with school to support their child’s learning journey.” Teacher, Eaves Primary School
