All nurseries must follow the Early Years Foundation Stage. Through the EYFS framework, your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected.
Three prime areas are particularly important for learning and forming relationships. They build a foundation for nursery children to thrive and provide the basis for learning in all areas:
Providers must also support children in four specific areas, which help strengthen and develop the three prime areas, and ignite children’s curiosity and enthusiasm. The specific areas are:
Teaching and learning at The Old Station Nursery Group centres around the individual child; what they love and what motivates them to learn.
The expert delivery of rich, engaging, meaningful activities, purposeful play, and focused high-quality teachable moments, provides real opportunities for children’s natural curiosity to be enhanced, for individual learning to be challenged and extended, and secures solid foundations for life-long learning.
While every aspect of our curriculum is designed around the EYFS framework, we have also developed our own bespoke enrichment activities to perfectly complement the EYFS framework.
The Brighter Learning Approach is our own unique pathway to Creating Brighter Futures Together. Complementing the Early Years Foundation Stage, the Brighter Learning Approach enhances and enriches our core pedagogy and curriculum further enhancing the learning and development your child gains through the EYFS, securing the foundations for lifelong learning.
Sitting alongside our bespoke curriculum, your child will also participate in a range of enrichment programmes which we hope will offer even more learning and development opportunities.
Our enrichment programmes include additional languages, yoga, rugby tots, boogie beats, cooking and a whole host of national and local activities that the children love and which truly set The Old Station Nursery Group apart from other nurseries in the area.
We believe that through our curriculum, bespoke programmes and daily interactions at nursery as well as home, your child will foster a number of specific skills, aptitudes and attitudes that ensure they have ‘Readiness’ for every stage of learning, both now and in the future. It is wonderful to see our children thrive and enter the next stage of their learning journey.
