The Curriculum
We provide a variety of interesting activities that are right for a child's age, stage of development and individual preferences. Children learn through play and we therefore, ensure that all activities that we offer are fun for the children and presented through the three modalities of learning, visual, audio and kinesthetic.
We encourage the children to love learning by offering them a broad and balanced curriculum with opportunities to apply their learning to new situations. We also provide many opportunities for the children to develop as individuals, encouraging their independence and awareness and concern for others. This ethos is underpinned by our school's moto “If I try I can”. We hope that your child will benefit from an exciting and enriching Early years education and will enjoy a successful and happy time at our nursery school.

Records and Reports
Parents are given periodic updates and reports on lessons. Reviews of Baseline Assessments are provided each term.
With these reports parents are more able to understand and be a part of their child's growth and enjoy the creativity and progression. Such records become very useful on graduation to Primary School and thus enable a smoother transition for your child.
