Curriculum
At North End Nursery, learning is joyful, meaningful, and guided by the children themselves. Our curriculum nurtures curiosity, creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Children are at the center of everything we do. We observe and follow their ideas, questions, and interests, designing activities that respond to their curiosity. This approach helps children develop independence and self-expression, build problem-solving and critical thinking skills and take an active role in their own learning journey
‘By following their own interests, children develop confidence, creativity, and a love for discovering the world around them’
Play-Based Exploration
Play is at the heart of our curriculum. Through imaginative play, creative projects, and hands-on activities, children develop:
Language, communication, and social skills
Emotional understanding and self-regulation
Physical coordination and confidence
Creativity and imaginative thinking
Nature-Inspired Learning
Our children explore natural environments and use open-ended, nature-based resources to enhance focus, calmness, and curiosity. Outdoor and nature-inspired activities encourage:
Observation and exploration
Critical thinking and problem solving
Connection with the natural world
“Learning through nature helps children understand their environment while building life skills for the future.”
Holistic Development
We support the growth of the whole child, nurturing not just cognitive and physical skills but also:
Emotional wellbeing and resilience
Social skills and positive relationships
Self-awareness and empathy
Spiritual awareness and reflection
Partnership with Families
Families are key partners in learning. We work closely with parents and carers, providing:
Progress updates and observations
Ideas to extend learning at home
Supportive and collaborative guidance
“Children thrive when their learning is supported both at nursery and at home. We work with families to ensure consistent care and encouragement.”
