Our Early Years curriculum is underpinned by the statutory Early Years Framework and Development Matters. Development Matters provides an age-related progression map which ensures that there are no gaps in learning of skills and knowledge. To ensure consistency and appropriacy, staff plan collaboratively but practitioners have autonomy to adapt our curriculum to meet the needs of every child. The curriculum is designed around concepts which alternate throughout the term. Through this concept based curriculum, children are able to access high-quality learning in all 7 areas of learning both indoors and outdoors. 

2 and 3-year-olds​

These are our youngest children. We provide opportunities for our children to foster warm and nurturing relationships with their key workers. We prepare our children to be lifelong learners through consistent and embedded routines. Learning is led by our curious children’s interests and enhanced through high-quality interactions with our skilled practitioners. We promote an early exploration of the world around us. We provide a multitude of opportunities to appreciate the importance of community. 

Preschool ​

Our Preschool ignites a love of learning that children will cherish throughout their school journey. We prepare our children for Reception readiness through building healthy relationships with their peers and adults alike. Learning is a collaboration of children’s curiosities punctuated with carefully planned adult-led learning. We promote a wealth of opportunities to foster independence so that our children are fully equipped for their Reception pathway.

Reception ​

Our Reception classes lay the foundations that equip our children with a hunger for lifelong learning. We provide a multitude of opportunities that encourage our children to take risks and be resilient learners. Learning is carefully planned and sequenced so that children are able to make links between their learning. We promote a thirst for adventure through open-ended provision, allowing children to showcase determination in their independent learning. ​
