Our curriculum
We’ve created a flexible curriculum that blends different educational approaches, focusing on child-centred learning, creativity, and holistic development while respecting each philosophy’s uniqueness. It encourages exploration of personal interests within a broad framework, prioritising essential skills and knowledge. Through careful observation of children’s interests and development, we tailor our approach to support their individual growth and learning needs.
Food
Our seasonal menu at Station House offers a variety of nutritious, world-inspired meals that cater to all dietary needs.
Mealtimes in the nursery are crucial for fostering development across different areas of learning. We believe that mealtimes are valuable opportunities for learning, connection, and growth.
We offer a variety of nutritious foods that align with dietary guidelines for children, ensuring meals are balanced and appealing. We accommodate dietary restrictions, allergies, and cultural or religious food preferences. Mealtimes are more than just a time to eat; they are essential for fostering children’s holistic development, turning mealtimes into a nurturing, educational, and enjoyable part of their day.
