We have developed our curriculum together with parents and staff to allow for a collaborative approach to children's learning, where everyone is involved and learning is a shared experience. Our curriculum proudly follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which provides the statutory framework that supports the 7 areas of learning. We recognise that every child is unique and develops at their own pace, so our curriculum is designed to support children of different ages, stages and interests within our mixed-age environment.

 

Through meaningful play experiences, caring relationships and skilled practitioners, we aim to help children develop the confidence, knowledge and skills they need for their next stage of learning. We carefully plan opportunities that are inclusive, engaging and responsive to children’s individual needs, interests and abilities. As a pack away setting, we create inviting spaces each day that encourage a love of learning through play.

 

Our provision offers a balance of familiar routines and opportunities for new experiences and exciting exploration. We use a combination of child-led learning, where children’s interests are built on and adult-initiated activities to support children’s learning across all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Child-led play and activities allow children to follow their own interests, make choices of where to play and what to play with, while adult-led activities allow us to introduce new skills and purposeful interactions.
