Curriculum
Our nursery curriculum nurtures curiosity, confidence and a lifelong love of learning in every child.
At nursery, the curriculum is all about how we help children learn, grow, and develop through play and meaningful experiences. In England, nurseries follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework — this sets the standards for the care, learning, and development of children from birth to age five.
Prime Areas
​(these build the foundation for all other learning)
Communication and Language – developing speaking, listening, and understanding skills.
Physical Development – encouraging movement, coordination, and healthy habits.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development – building confidence, relationships, and self-awareness.
Specific Areas
(which grow from the prime areas)
Literacy – early reading, mark-making, and developing a love of stories.
Mathematics – exploring numbers, shapes, patterns, and problem-solving.
Understanding the World – discovering people, places, nature, and technology.
Expressive Arts and Design – using imagination through music, art, dance, and role play.
