Curriculum - Early Years Foundation Stage

We offer an enriched learning environment run by highly qualified, nurturing staff.

Our approach is to

"Be Curious, Be Creative, Be Captivated."

Children enjoy a varied mix of child-led and adult-led activities such as arts and crafts, music, reading, dance, exploring the natural world and outdoor play.

We enjoy a wonderful outside area, enriched further with access to the St Johns School

woodland grounds and play field.
Our creative curriculum taught through play aims to best support children’s social and emotional development, as well as establishing a curiosity about the world and a desire to learn.

Learning and Development

The early years foundation stage (EYFS) sets standards for the learning, development and care of children

from birth to 5 years old.

Through our creative curriculum, we focus on the seven key areas of learning and development.

All areas are important and inter-connect.

The three prime areas of importance for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning,

forming relationships and thriving are:

• Communication and Language

• Physical Development

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

We support our children in four other specific areas,

through which the above three prime areas are strengthened and applied.

• Literacy

• Mathematics

• Understanding the world

• Expressive Arts and Design
