Curriculum
What do we teach your child?
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS).
We regularly track each Child's personal stage of Development. In regularly tracking a child's progress, ensures every child is making progress and making sure no child is falling behind or struggling.
With this information, we can work together with parents and carers to access the correct services or support if needed.
Every two to three months following a track of your child's development, we will create targets to work towards, these targets are also sent home, to ensure consistency and partnership working with parents and carers.
Each child's targets are created by us observing your child's developmental needs, any areas for support and taking into account your child's interests.
Each child's individual views and opinions are listened to and taken into account when planning activities and outings.
We NEVER compare any child's age and stage of development with that of another child.
We recognise that all children are individuals, with unique skills and attributes which are celebrated.
We encourage children to be as independent as they can be, but are always on hand for encouragement and support where needed.
We take children's interests/likes/opinions and personal lived experiences into account when planning activities and frequently incorporate these into our activities.
We share children's wow moments and achievements with parents and carers daily.
We encourage all children to be kind, polite and always strive to help each other.
Children have access to the outdoor play area on a daily basis, whatever the weather.
We go on weekly outings, we currently alternate each week between Richmond Park woodlands and Kew Gardens.
We follow a routine. Transitions such as 'tidy up time', 'snack time' and 'lunch or dinner time' are accompanied by a song to help children anticipate what is coming next.
Children are praised for all their achievements no matter how big or small.
Praise can be verbal, a high five, a sticker or a treat from our treat jar.
We are flexible with our weekly planned activities. We will always listen to the interests of the children on that particular day and incorporate where possible.
