Communication & language
Stories, songs, conversations and moments of wonder encourage children to listen, speak and express themselves.
For parents
Small moments.
Foundations for life.
The Early Years Foundation Stage brings together learning and development for young children. Here is how the nursery describes its approach.
Arrange a visitLearning through play
Seven connected areas.
Physical development
Active play, outdoor exploration and movement develop coordination, balance and fine motor skills.
Personal, social & emotional development
Supportive relationships help children build confidence, friendships and an understanding of feelings.
Literacy
Books, songs, mark-making and sounds build a foundation for enjoying reading and writing.
Mathematics
Counting, shapes, measures and everyday objects make mathematical ideas part of play.
Understanding the world
Nature, community visits and real-world experiences encourage questions about people and places.
Expressive arts & design
Art, music, role play, dance and a variety of materials provide ways to explore and create.
Working together
Learning is a partnership.
The nursery blends in-the-moment interactions, Curiosity Approach values and adult-led experiences. Your child’s key person follows progress and welcomes information from home.
For questions about your child’s learning, start with their key person or room team.
