About
At our nursery we believe that curiosity is the gateway to lifelong learning. Our unique approach encourages children to explore, question, and discover the world around them in a nurturing and stimulating environment.

Our approach
Our curriculum aims to provide a warm and enriching foundation, preparing children for the transition to school and cultivating a love for learning through curiosity and discovery.
To support our teaching we use the Early Years foundation stage which is designed to provide a well-rounded education for children age 0-5 by encompassing the 7 areas of development.
Our practitioners use regular observations and assessments to understand each child’s skills, interests, and progress.
Individual learning paths are created based on these assessments to support continued development and readiness for primary education.
Our children
We recognise and respect that children learn and develop at their own pace. However, in order to help organise our activities, children are split into three rough groups:
• 6 months to 2 year olds
• 2 to 3 year olds
• 3 to 5 year olds
These age ranges allow for developmental differences, but also take into consideration the importance of social learning and the benefits that come from mixing children of varied stages of development.
