The pre-school embraces the individuality of each child, tailoring activities to their unique strengths and needs, allowing them to develop at their own pace. While not offering formal reading and writing lessons, the curriculum focuses on building foundational skills necessary for school, such as counting, number recognition up to ten, letter recognition, and name recognition. The approach emphasises well-planned and enjoyable play, which is believed to enhance critical thinking, comprehension, and language abilities, as well as encourage creativity, exploration, and independent conclusion-drawing. The pre-school also incorporates 'Cultural Capital' through intentional curriculum design and implementation, aiming to broaden children's perspectives, reduce disadvantage, and deepen their understanding of their community and the wider world. This is achieved through a balanced curriculum aligning with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), offering a blend of adult-led activities and child-initiated play, outdoor learning, and individualised support. The ultimate goal is to ensure a strong foundation for future success by equipping children with essential knowledge and fostering an environment of positive relationships and continuous learning.

Inclusion & environment ## How they support every child SEND provision Leaders and staff work swiftly with parents and other professionals when they identify children's emerging needs.

Children imaginatively use natural resources and cooperate with each other to manoeuvre planks, logs, tyres and decorated cardboard boxes to make vehicles and pretend to be pirates on a ship. ## Google Reviews of Highlands Village Pre-School 4.3 (6 Google reviews) Eddy Marku (eddy marku) a year ago Our son has attended this nursery since September 2023 and we could not be happier with the care and support he gets there. He is ecstatic to go to nursery everyday and he has developed and grown so much since starting. The children are always kept clean and happy, and parents are informed very regularly of all their activities. Sim and Cos in particular are phenomenal and so dedicated to the children in their care. I cannot recommend enough.
