Our curriculum was thought out to nurture kind, curious, and independent children who feel safe, valued, and fully prepared for their next stage of learning. We achieve this by providing purposeful play opportunities that encourage exploration, creativity, and self-expression, ensuring each child’s voice is heard and respected.
We place a strong emphasis on the EYFS 7 areas of learning, as the foundations for lifelong learning. While planning our experiences and learning we follow our own OASIS method to ensure we inspire awe and wonder while enriching children’s cultural capital.
To ensure our curriculum meets the needs of every child, we closely observe and assess their learning and development using ongoing formative assessments. These insights enable us to tailor our teaching and support individual learning journeys, ensuring all children make meaningful and sustained progress from their unique starting points.
As a result, children leave us confident, resilient, and well-equipped with the skills, knowledge, and dispositions to thrive in their future education and beyond.
