Curriculum

At our nursery, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which supports your child’s natural development and enhances their learning from birth to 5 years old. The EYFS is designed to provide a strong foundation for children’s future learning by focusing on their holistic development through a combination of structured activities and play.

The Four Key Themes of EYFS

  1. A Unique Child
    We believe that every child is a competent learner from birth, capable of being resilient, confident, and self-assured. We celebrate the uniqueness of each child, providing opportunities that allow them to grow at their own pace.
  2. Positive Relationships
    Strong, loving, and secure relationships are at the heart of our nursery. We understand that children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships with parents and their key person. These bonds support your child’s emotional wellbeing and help them thrive in their learning journey.
  3. Enabling Environments
    Our environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning. We provide a safe, stimulating space filled with engaging activities and resources that encourage curiosity, exploration, and discovery.
  4. Learning and Development
    We recognize that children develop and learn in different ways and at varying rates. Every area of learning is equally important and interconnected. We plan a balanced curriculum that focuses on nurturing each child’s individual strengths and developmental needs.

Areas of Learning

The EYFS curriculum is divided into seven areas of learning. We prioritize the three Prime Areas at the start of your child’s learning journey:

  1. Personal, Social, and Emotional Development
    Children learn to build relationships, manage their emotions, and develop confidence and self-esteem. This area forms the foundation for all other learning and personal growth.
  2. Communication and Language
    We support children’s ability to understand and use language, as well as encouraging their confidence in speaking and listening. Through conversations, storytelling, and group activities, children enhance their language skills.
  3. Physical Development
    This area focuses on children’s physical skills, including both fine motor skills (like using pencils, scissors, and tools) and gross motor skills (such as running, jumping, and climbing). We create opportunities for active play to promote coordination, balance, and movement.

As children grow, these Prime Areas support their development in the following Specific Areas:

  1. Literacy
    Through activities such as reading, writing, and storytelling, children develop early literacy skills. We introduce phonics and encourage a love for books, stories, and writing.
  2. Mathematics
    Children begin to explore numbers, shapes, patterns, and measurements. We use practical experiences and play-based learning to build strong foundations in mathematical thinking.
  3. Understanding the World
    This area involves exploring the natural world, different cultures, technology, and the environment. Children learn about the world around them and develop curiosity through hands-on activities and discussions.
  4. Expressive Arts and Design
    Encouraging creativity and imagination, children explore art, music, dance, and drama. We provide a variety of artistic experiences that enable children to express themselves and develop their creative skills.

Personalized Learning

We tailor our activities to your child’s needs and interests. Our experienced team closely observes each child’s development, using these insights to plan activities that are engaging, appropriate, and supportive of their learning journey. By combining structured play and exploration, we foster both cognitive and emotional development, ensuring that your child grows with confidence and joy.

The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is more than just a framework—it’s a commitment to providing the best start for your child, ensuring they develop the skills, confidence, and curiosity needed to succeed in their learning journey and beyond.
