Learning Through Play and Discovery

The Pre-Nursery curriculum is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Framework, focusing on the prime areas of development:

Learning experiences are designed to be hands-on, sensory, and responsive to each child’s interests.

Through songs, stories, art, movement, and outdoor exploration, children begin to build early social, motor, and communication skills -all while having fun!

“At this stage, learning is all about joy, connection, and curiosity. We build confidence through comfort, care, and consistency.”

Themes and Topics

Each term, children explore exciting topics that make learning relevant and engaging.

Typical themes include:

All About Me – understanding themselves, family, and emotions
Colours and Shapes – discovering patterns in the world
Celebrations – learning about cultural events, such as Halloween and Christmas
Animals and Nature – exploring the seasons, sounds, and textures around them

Activities are often led by children’s natural curiosity, allowing them to develop at their own pace within a structured, supportive environment.

Daily Rhythm

Our Pre-Nursery day follows a calm and predictable rhythm, giving children a sense of security and routine.

A typical morning may include:

Afternoons are spent consolidating learning through quieter play, music, art, or guided small-group sessions.

A Home Away from Home

We recognise that starting school is a big milestone for both children and parents.

Our teachers prioritise emotional wellbeing, helping children form secure attachments and develop the confidence to separate from caregivers.

Every child is encouraged to express themselves, make friends, and learn how to share, take turns, and care for others.

Working with Families

A strong partnership with parents ensures a smooth and happy start. We provide guidance on how parents can support early development at home. For example, through reading, singing, and simple play-based activities

Families stay connected through:

Together, we help children discover the joy of learning, one small step at a time.
