OUR CURRICULUM
​
Within the nursery, all children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace. Our key person system enables us to ensure a curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child. By means of developmentally appropriate play activities and a level of individual adult input. Children should mostly develop the three prime areas first; these are essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.
​
As children grow, these prime areas help children develop skills in the four specific areas. They learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking both indoors and outdoors. We offer a curriculum which leads to nationally approved learning outcomes and prepares children to progress with confidence to the Foundation stage and their “ Early Learning Goals” ( ELGs )
​
​
The Early Years Foundation Stage ( EYFS ) is made up of seven areas of learning and development.
​
PRIME AREAS
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Physical Development
Communication and Language
SPECIFIC AREAS
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
​
All areas of learning and development are connected to one another and are equally important. All areas of learning and development are underpinned by the overreaching principles of the EYFS.
Each area of learning and development must be implemented through planned, purposeful play and through a mix of adult led and child initiated activities.
​
Practitioners will reflect on observations of the learning and development of all children as individuals to provide effective support to help them flourish.
The three characteristics of effective learning are:
Playing and Exploring - Engagement ,
Active learning - Motivation
Creating and thinking - Critically - thinking.
PERSONAL, SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves and others; to form positive relationships
and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and to learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups; and to have confidence in their own abilities
​
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity, and to make healthy choices in relation to food.
