Curriculum

All children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace. Our Key Person system enables us to ensure a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child.

By means of developmentally appropriate play activities and a high level of adult input, we offer a curriculum which leads to nationally approved learning outcomes and prepares the children to progress with confidence to the national curriculum at the age of 5 years. Children are encouraged to have an awareness of the following:-

• language and literacy - extending vocabulary and fluency through talking, singing and listening
• personal and social development - developing confidence and self-respect, individually and in group settings
• mathematics - familiarity with basic concepts (sorting, matching, sequencing and counting)
• knowledge and understanding of the world - hands-on exploration of materials, working with simple tools
• physical development - developing confidence and enjoyment in body skills, indoors and out
• creative development - using a variety of resources to express ideas and feelings
