“Following a vibrant curriculum in a creative and fun atmosphere”

Using the Early Years Foundation Stage we fully embrace the ethos that the curriculum should be child centred and developmentally appropriate. We offer a range of experiences that focus on:

• Developing creative thinking
• Language skills
• Mathematical and scientific understanding
• Using imagination
• Extending physical skills
• Experiencing books, stories songs and music
• Practising decision making and problem solving
• Promoting care and concern for others
• Respect for the environment as well as opportunities for fun and friendship.

Although individual attention from the adults is a priority, regular contact with other children in developing skills of sharing co-operation and friendship is vital.

For our youngest infants we offer sensitive baby care encouraging all stages of development through the attention of interested adults and by stimulating their natural curiosity. We follow individual sleep and feeding patterns to maintain consistency with home life and to foster a feeling of security.

For toddlers and older children we offer experience in a wide variety of play and learning activities building on their natural desire to make relationships, explore and discover. We encourage their developing social awareness, and help their growing self esteem, self-confidence and independence.

We use careful observation and regular assessment of each child’s development to inform the planning of the curriculum.

Our outdoor play areas are a vital resource and the children use them every day, weather permitting. We also arrange outings from the nursery.

The nursery has a wide range of carefully chosen toys, books, and equipment that provide children with the stimulation they need for physical mental and emotional growth. We use computers in the three and four year olds playrooms as well as a wealth of other toys and equipment from jigsaws to footballs. The playrooms for the younger children and babies have equipment appropriate to their needs, including manufactured toys, natural and found resources.
