The nursery employs a staged learning approach, offering interactive spaces and purpose-built classrooms. Their Educational Framework for the Early Years (EYFS) aims to nurture, support, and progress children, ensuring they are well-prepared for school life and social interactions. The curriculum balances indoor and outdoor activities with structured academic targets, fostering social and emotional confidence. Small class sizes, typically fewer than ten students, allow for tailored learning experiences according to the National Curriculum. The dedicated team of educators receives continuous training, at least 15 courses annually, to enhance their skills and knowledge, with specialised training for staff working with babies aged 0-2 years. The baby room offers a tranquil setting with natural light, a private sleeping area with breathing sensor mats, and a curriculum focused on visual and sensory experiences. As children transition to the toddler stage, active exploration and learning are encouraged. Our ethos Moorland Nursery and Pre-School is committed to nurturing children through their early years, preparing them for school and social interaction using the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. They balance indoor and outdoor activities with structured targets, supported by continuous staff training and small class sizes for tailored learning. The curriculum progresses from sensory experiences for babies to active exploration for toddlers. What it's like Practitioners promote children's learning with outstanding success as children move freely in a rich and stimulating environment. The setting's individual planning supports children in their learning, given their age and starting points. The superb learning environment is fully inclusive, safe and secure with high quality resources for children to use.
