Our curriculum design is broad and balanced, addressing the needs of our children based on the EYFS statutory framework and Development Matters. The seven areas of learning are:

• Communication and language 
• Physical Development
• Personal, social and emotional development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

We have a strong focus on developing children’s communication and language skills and focus our learning on core texts each half-term. 

Our children have access to both an indoor and outdoor environment, providing opportunities for both adult-led and child-initiated learning experiences. The adults in our setting understand the importance of knowing a child’s current understanding and achievements and what their next steps should be.

Our learning environment is designed in a way that promotes independence, self-confidence, and high self-esteem, with good social skills and a passion for learning. We value the role of structured play to support our children's learning and development and ensure that they have valuable experiences both inside and outside the classroom.
