I got no idea what that means. What on earth is 'reception"?

It's a term widely used in English to indicate the class for the youngest kids in the school.

"EDUCATION SYSTEM IN THE UK

Across the UK there are five stages of education: early years, primary, secondary, Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE). Education is compulsory for all children between the ages of 5 (4 in Northern Ireland) and 16. FE is not compulsory and covers non-advanced education which can be taken at further (including tertiary) education colleges and HE institutions (HEIs). The fifth stage, HE, is study beyond GCE A levels and their equivalent which, for most full-time students, takes place in universities and other HEIs and colleges."

Reception classes are described in your link, if you could be bothered to read it. First page, second paragraph describes the alternative options for early years education in UK and Northern Ireland.

Early Years Education
In England since September 2010, all three and four year olds are entitled to 15 hours of free nursery education for 38 weeks of the year. Early Years education takes place in a variety of settings including state nursery schools, nursery classes and reception classes within primary schools, as well as settings outside the state sector such as voluntary pre-schools, privately run nurseries or childminders. In recent years there has been a major expansion of Early Years education and childcare. The Education Act 2002 extended the National Curriculum for England to include the Foundation Stage which was first introduced in September 2000, and covered children’s education from the age of 3 to the end of the reception year, when …….

As noted, despite being British, I had never heard the term. But as I am not a teacher, and never had young kids in a UK based education system, just something that had never hit my radar before.

Reception is a part of Early Years

Like KS2 and Upper KS2 are part of Primary.

Working from home does have its downsides.

Ate a huge buffet last night and went home to a power cut that lasted all night.

Everyone was designated a bathroom each and advised only to flush a number 2.

Lekky came back on at 6:30, just in time for me to shower after about 2 hours sleep.

Sitting here at work hating life.

And it's pissing rain.
