We offer opportunities that build on children’s existing experiences enabling them to become independent and self-motivated learners. We want children to have a thirst for knowledge and aim to provide a learning environment tailored to meet their needs. Each child has a tailored curriculum with curricular goals which are selected during the school term by your child's key person with support from the class teacher or room leader. These goals are individual to each child and are appropriate to their age and stage of development.

Previous observation, discussion with parents and children's interests are used to help select the focused targets. Our cycle of observation, assessment, planning, observation is carried out responsively whilst our children play.

          

 

Sharing Progress

Learning opportunities are recorded and shared through our on-line learning journal 'Tapestry'. It can be accessed on any computer, tablet or Smartphone. When your child starts nursery, we will give you information that explains login and access. Your child’s profile is only accessible to you and those who you share it with; it is not open to the general public.

We encourage parents to use Tapestry to respond to our posts and to share activities done at home e.g. trips out, play activities.

We also provide a written formative report during the summer term prior to a child starting a reception class.
