We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum which has at its core, 4 themes:-
Learning and Development is covered in 7 further areas:-
Prime Areas:-
Specific Areas:-
Using the Free-flow system the staff set up numerous activities for the children to access, covering all areas of learning space – the classrooms, the conservatory and the garden.
The staff observe each child as they use the equipment and then adapt activities to fit their own stage of development, so if a child is obviously finding a task very easy, they can change or add to the activity to ensure that they are being stretched and challenged. Play underpins the delivery of the whole curriculum.
- A Unique Child – every child is a competent learner who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
