What we will learn
We will be following the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework and ensure our learning allows children to develop their skills in the seven areas of learning:
- Communication and Language
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding of the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
Our programme of learning will follow the needs and interests of our children and will be carefully organsied so that they make the progress they need in order to be ready for their next steps in learning.
Have a look at our Nursery curriculum overview at the bottom of the page and have a look on Tapestry to see what we have been up to.
