Understanding the world

We encourage curiosity and exploration through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), helping children explore and make sense of the world around them. By engaging with their environment, they develop a deeper understanding and build a strong foundation for future learning.

Our environments

Central to our curriculum and ethos is the creation of environments that nurture curiosity, independence, and a deep connection to the world. Our thoughtfully designed nursery rooms serve as inviting spaces where children can explore freely, encouraging independence and creativity. Our outdoor spaces inspire adventure, movement, and a love for nature, enhancing every child’s learning experience.

Nursery rooms

The rooms are carefully arranged with accessible materials that invite exploration and allow children to choose their activities independently. 

A space designed with child-sized furniture, accessible shelves, and materials arranged for independent use.  A welcoming environment that reflects children’s work and interests, with plenty of natural light, mirrors, and displays.

Many materials are often open-ended, such as loose parts, natural objects, art supplies, and sensory items. Open-ended materials allow children to experiment, create, and express themselves without a pre-determined outcome.

Outdoor play

The nursery garden is a rich environment offering potential for all areas of learning. We believe that everyday experience of the natural world outdoors is essential so that children can learn to appreciate its wonders and begin to understand the interrelationship between all living things.

  • We provide opportunities for children to plant seeds, water plants, and watch them grow, fostering responsibility and an appreciation for nature.

  • Our outdoor spaces offer children the chance to take manageable risks, such as climbing or balancing, which builds confidence and decision-making skills.  By fostering exploration, movement, and discovery, we believe our outdoor environments enrich the early learning experience.

  • With play viewed as essential to learning, in our child-centred environments, structured and free play provide ways for children to explore, practice social skills, and develop problem-solving abilities.
