Our Learning
Our Learning

Our pedagogy is drawn from our ethos and values, to create a learning environment that benefits each individual child.

The whole staff team have worked together to create our own curriculum, detailing what we want our children to learn, know or do before they go to primary school. 
We have based this on four pillars:

      Happy & Healthy                           Motivated Movers  
 Independent Investigators             Confident Communicators

More information about this is available upon request and can be viewed 
at the nursery.
