We do this by developing our educational approach based on a deep understanding of brain development in the vital first five years of life. We combine this with a culture of kindness for children, families and the invaluable team who work in our nursery.

“Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul”
— Frederich Froebel
Our Educational Approach
We have built our curriculum in line with the EYFS Framework. We strongly support the recent guidance from Development Matters which states that 'the EYFS is about how children learn, as well as what they learn. Children need opportunities to develop their own play and independent exploration. This is enjoyable and motivating. They also need adults to ‘scaffold’ their learning by giving them just enough help to achieve something they could not do independently.'
Our individually planned and purposeful activities encourage the development of children, allowing them to excel whilst in our care. We create stimulating environments for children in all our rooms full of provocations and opportunities for open ended play.
