Learning in our Nursery
Children benefit from meaningful learning across the EYFS curriculum. The curriculum is coherently planned and sequenced to ensure children are covering all objectives in depth. Our curriculum builds on what children know and can do, towards cumulatively sufficient knowledge and skills for their future learning in KS1. Our planning is based around a variety of topics these being our focused texts; ‘what is going on in the world’ and most importantly children’s interests. We understand the importance of exploring concepts further to develop a deeper knowledge and understanding and consolidating learning. Children develop detailed knowledge and skills across the seven areas of learning and use these in an age-appropriate way. Communication and Language is at the heart of our curriculum and children develop their vocabulary and understanding of language daily.
Safeguarding
To ensure your child’s safety, there will be a member of staff on the door at the beginning and end of our sessions.
If you need to speak to a member of staff, please contact the class teacher via class dojo.
We ask parents to inform us if anybody new to us will be collecting your child and to ensure that they have your child’s password.
Thank you in advance for your continued support throughout the year.
