Development, Learning & Assessment

Learning Through Play

Our curriculum for the children’s development and learning is guided by The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). View framework

Children learn best when they are engaged with their activities, having fun and learning through play.  Play helps children understand the world around them and helps them to develop socially and emotionally. It also helps their confidence and helps them become independent.

An Ambitious Curriculum

We provide a wide and evolving curriculum, designed to suit all ages and stages of development. Whether through individual or group activities, children are encouraged to use their imagination, explore, and reflect on their experiences, helping them connect with the world around them.

Respect and Diversity

We value and celebrate the cultural backgrounds, languages, and contributions of all families in our community. By fostering positive and respectful relationships between children, staff, and parents, we create a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child feels welcome and valued.

Supporting Every Child

Every child’s learning journey is unique. We encourage independence, confident choices, and curiosity, all within a safe and caring environment. This tailored approach allows children to thrive, develop resilience, and reach their full potential.

Tracking Progress with Tapestry

To capture and share each child’s learning journey, we use Tapestry, an online learning journal. This allows parents to see milestones and achievements in real time, while helping us to continually assess and support each child’s individual progress.
