EYFS Curriculum

At our nursery, we proudly follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum, which sets essential standards for all early years providers. This framework ensures that children learn and develop in a safe and healthy environment, promoting their overall well-being. The EYFS is designed to prepare children for school, equipping them with a broad range of knowledge and skills that lay a solid foundation for future learning and life.

The EYFS aims to provide quality and consistency across all early years settings, ensuring that every child makes meaningful progress and that no child is left behind. Our nursery offers tailored learning and development opportunities that are carefully planned around each child’s unique needs and interests. Regular assessments and reviews help us to support and celebrate each child’s journey.

One of the key benefits of a school-based nursery is the strong partnership we foster between practitioners, parents, and carers. This collaborative approach enhances children’s learning experiences and creates a supportive community. Additionally, we are committed to promoting equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practices, ensuring that every child feels included and valued.

In our school-based nursery, children not only thrive academically but also develop essential social skills, emotional resilience, and a love for learning, setting them on a positive path for their educational journey ahead.

 You will find more information on the EYFS curriculum in our 'Welcome to Nursery' booklet.
