Play and The Nursery Curriculum

At our nursery, we believe that Play is the most natural and meaningful way for children to learn and grow. Through play, children explore their environment, express their thoughts and feelings, build relationships, and develop essential life skills.

We offer a nurturing, stimulating, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, safe, and supported. Our team recognises that each child is unique and develops at their own pace. we are there to guide, observe, and extend learning through responsive interactions and thoughtful experiences.

We aim to create an environment where children feel confident to lead their own learning, where curiosity is encouraged, and where childhood is truly cherished.

Our ethos is rooted in traditional play-based learning, with many of our principles drawn from the educational philosophy of Friedrich Froebel, who championed the importance of early childhood as a time of rich discovery, creativity, and connection with the natural world.
