Curriculum

Little Learners Nurseries have a play based approach to learning, building on children’s interests and responds to their ideas for play and also allowing scope for structured activities to teach specific skills and knowledge.

Through play, children develop language skills, emotions, creativity, social and intellectual skills. Play takes place indoors and outdoors were children explore and discover their immediate world.

At Little Learners Nurseries staff allow children to practice new ideas and skills, take risks, show imagination and solve problems on their own or with others. Little Learners Nurseries practitioners use Tapestry Online Learning Journal as part of their daily observation, assessment and planning.

Guidance on Child’s Learning and Development and how you can support your child at home is explained in the document ‘What to expect, when?’ which is a parent guide to help you find out more about how your child is learning and developing during their first five years, in relation to the EYFS, and what to expect during these vitally important years by focusing on the seven areas of learning and development which are covered in the EYFS.

The seven areas of the EYFS

The Early Years Foundation Stage covers seven areas of learning and development: communication and language; physical development; personal, social and emotional development; literacy; mathematics; understanding the world; and expressive arts and design. Our staff plan activities across all seven, indoors and outdoors, based on what your own child is interested in that week.
