Children in the Nursery learn by playing and exploring, being active and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside. We place a strong focus on the children’s personal, social and emotional development, communication and language and their physical development. These are important areas which build the foundations for all other learning.

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum which is made up of seven areas of learning:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development   
• Communication and Language   
• Physical Development   
• Maths   
• Literacy   
• Understanding the World   
• Expressive Arts and Design 

These areas of learning are reflected in our nursery environment, both indoors and outside. Whenever possible, our learning is linked to, and follows, the children’s interests with a balance of child-initiated and adult-led learning. Children explore, create and learn through play and the provision of exciting, stimulating, interactive and accessible resources and opportunities.

The Nursery and Reception teams work closely together to ensure the children have a smooth transitions when they are ready to start their school journey.
