Learning Through Play

We provide a wide range of learning opportunities and experiences that change daily to support every child’s individual learning and development. Our activities are carefully planned in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum and encourage children to learn through play, explore their interests, and develop a natural love of learning.

Our learning experiences support all seven areas of the EYFS:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

• Communication and Language

• Physical Development

• Literacy

• Mathematics

• Understanding the World

• Expressive Arts and Design

Most activities are child-initiated, allowing children to lead their own learning, with our highly qualified practitioners providing gentle guidance and support to extend their thinking and skills.

We encourage all children to develop confidence in communication and independence. As they grow and progress through the nursery, they are supported in developing problem-solving skills and resilience. We place a strong emphasis on outdoor learning, recognising that access to the outdoors enhances concentration, enjoyment, and overall learning. Active play helps children explore, understand, and make sense of the world around them.
