Curriculum

We have a "learn through play" ethos and cover the Early Learning Goals:

• Creative Development
• Personal, social and emotional development
• Communication, language and literacy
• Problem solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
• Knowledge and understanding of the world
• Physical development

We have ratios of 1:4 for 2 and 3 year-olds and 1:8 for older children.

Our staff are continually taking courses to further their professional development.

We cover the Early Year Foundation stage, introduced by the government in 2008. All staff have been trained in this

Every day children have access to playdough, painting, chalks, role-play, books, construction and messy play, to name but a few, and they participate in story-time, registration, discussion and circle-time.

We have a huge range of equipment from outdoor lawnmowers to entire shop setups. You can see a recent list here.

We schedule specific play activities according to our themes which specifically target the Early Learning Goals.

We have an ever-changing interest table which we use in accordance with our theme.

Festivals

We cover festivals from a variety of cultures such as Easter, Christmas, Diwali, Ramadan, Eid, Chinese New Year and Purim.

Themes

We have a daily floor plan and a timetable of the activities and themes which we will cover over a week.
