Children learn individually and with others through play. We offer our children a play-based curriculum, which supports all aspects of their learning and development. It supports their inbuilt curiosity and desire to make sense of the world around them and helps them to discover that learning is interesting and fun. This is vitally important if children are going to remain keen learners for the rest of their lives.

Play in a secure environment with effective adult support allows the children to explore, investigate and enjoy the learning experience. We help them to practice and develop ideas, concepts and skills in a unique and non-threatening way, without fear of failure.

We deliver the curriculum in a number of ways, through: 

• Construction and small world play
• Large & fine motor skills and experiences
• Literacy and numeracy skills
• Water, sand and malleable experiences
• Role play and imaginative opportunities
• Stories and mark making - the marks that children make through a range of media, such as paint, water, sand, pencils and the meanings that they give to them
• Creative workshops
• Outdoor opportunities
• Exploring and investigating science and nature
• Play through independent exploration and investigation of real, found and natural resources and materials
• Dance, music and sensory experiences

  

So what does this mean for your child?

It means being sure each individual child is learning through high quality play, that’s tailored to them. So they develop at their own pace, while having fun, making friends and learning. Becoming confident, secure children who, when the time comes are better prepared for school.
