In addition, we plan for individual needs, different learning styles and the interests of our children. We are committed to play-based, active learning. We know that rich, memorable contexts for learning connect with the children’s interests and inspire children and promote greater levels of involvement. Children have ownership of their learning, providing them with the motivation to use their independent learning skills and their creative, imaginative and investigative thinking.

Children work towards the Early Learning Goals across seven areas of learning. There are three prime areas that are crucial for igniting curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

The three Prime Areas are: Communication and language, Physical development and Personal, social and emotional development

Alongside these areas there are four Specific Areas, through which the Prime Areas are strengthened and applied. Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the world, Expressive arts and design

Well planned, play based, active learning, both indoors and outdoors, is a key way in which our young children learn with enjoyment and challenge.

First hand activities, using an enquiry based learning model helps our children to develop confidence, concentration, co-operation, curiosity, creativity, independence, self- esteem, the ability to communicate as well as  enthusiasm and enjoyment for learning.
