Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the UK framework for children from birth to age 5. Learning happens through play, exploration, and warm relationships with familiar adults.
Building vocabulary through songs, stories, and everyday conversation. Children are encouraged to listen, respond, and express their needs in a language-rich environment.
Learning to separate confidently from parents, build friendships, and begin managing emotions with adult support — the foundation for all later learning.
Developing gross motor skills (climbing, running, balancing) and fine motor skills (holding crayons, using scissors) through active, hands-on play.
Early exposure to books, rhymes, and mark-making — building a love of stories well before formal reading begins.
Exploring number, shape, and pattern through play — counting toys, sorting by colour, building with blocks.
Curiosity about people, places, and nature — introduced through sensory play, nature walks, and simple science exploration.
Painting, music, dance, and imaginative play — giving children safe, joyful ways to express themselves creatively.
Play, outdoor exploration, and sensory discovery — a look at what our youngest learners get up to each day.
