Curriculum

Our curriculum aims to enable all children to become: 

• Competent and creative learners who are curious about the world around them - Curious Creators
• Skillful communicators who can connect with others through language and play, ensuring that they play in a vocabulary rich environment - Clever communicators
• Independent investigators who develop practical skills - Imaginative Investigators
• Secure and confident individuals who enjoy coming to nursery, learning new skills and building on their existing learning, dedicating time to focus on health and self-care.   - Wellbeing Warriors

We endeavour to give the children the Cultural Capital they need for future success thus giving each child the best start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their full potential and achieve future success. We are passionate about creating opportunities for children to communicate more easily through developing language and communication skills. Fundamental British Values are at the heart of our curriculum and everything we do. 

Four pillars of learning

Learning to know	Learning to do	Learning to live together	Learning to be
Curious Creators	Imaginative Investigators	Clever Communicators	Wellbeing Warriors
Focusing on curiosity and using critical thinking skills. Children will independently extend their own learning and be able to share what they have learnt with others.	Focusing on acquiring practical skills and implementing ideas. Children use the tools around them and the opportunities they are given to explore independently and get the most out of their environment.	Focusing on understanding and developing respect for others. Children can communicate with words, signs and gestures, their needs and feelings. They can understand the need for instructions and boundaries and follow them.	Focusing on personal growth and self awareness. Children will be motivated to engage in their environment and with others and not be discouraged and be willing to try again.

The seven areas of learning are communication and language development, personal, social and emotional development, physical development, literacy, mathematics, understanding of the world and expressive arts and design.
