Our curriculum

We have designed a curriculum that seamlessly integrates various educational approaches, highlighting their shared commitment to child-centred learning, creativity, and holistic development, while honouring the distinct qualities of each philosophy.

Our curriculum is flexible and responsive, allowing children to explore topics of personal interest within a broad framework that emphasises essential skills and knowledge. We prioritise careful observation of young children, taking into account their interests and developmental stages, and tailor our planning to support their individual growth and learning needs.

Communication, Early Literacy
& Numeracy

We nurture a love for language and numbers by developing early language, literacy and numeracy skills, and encouraging empathetic problem-solving.

Personal, social & emotional development (PSED)

We support children in growing into confident, empathetic individuals by fostering emotional literacy and social skills, promoting personal care, and encouraging self-confidence and independence.

Physical development

We support healthy bodies and active play by promoting strength, balance, and coordination, enhancing hand control and precision, and encouraging physical health.

Creative development

We inspire creativity and self-expression through expressive arts, tactile art activities, and imaginative play.

Understanding the world

We encourage curiosity and exploration through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), helping children explore and make sense of the world around them. By engaging with their environment, they develop a deeper understanding and build a strong foundation for future learning.

Our environments

Central to our curriculum and ethos is the creation of environments that nurture curiosity, independence, and a deep connection to the world. Our thoughtfully designed nursery rooms serve as inviting spaces where children can explore freely, encouraging independence and creativity. Our outdoor spaces inspire adventure, movement, and a love for nature, enhancing every child’s learning experience.

Nursery rooms

The rooms are carefully arranged with accessible materials that invite exploration and allow children to choose their activities independently. 

A space designed with child-sized furniture, accessible shelves, and materials arranged for independent use.  A welcoming environment that reflects children’s work and interests, with plenty of natural light, mirrors, and displays.

Many materials are often open-ended, such as loose parts, natural objects, art supplies, and sensory items. Open-ended materials allow children to experiment, create, and express themselves without a pre-determined outcome.

Outdoor play

The nursery garden is a rich environment offering potential for all areas of learning. We believe that everyday experience of the natural world outdoors is essential so that children can learn to appreciate its wonders and begin to understand the interrelationship between all living things.

  • We provide opportunities for children to plant seeds, water plants, and watch them grow, fostering responsibility and an appreciation for nature.

  • Our outdoor spaces offer children the chance to take manageable risks, such as climbing or balancing, which builds confidence and decision-making skills.  By fostering exploration, movement, and discovery, we believe our outdoor environments enrich the early learning experience.

  • With play viewed as essential to learning, in our child-centred environments, structured and free play provide ways for children to explore, practice social skills, and develop problem-solving abilities.
