The Curriculum

At Little Explorers Nursery, we believe that children learn when they are having fun. Children are daily take part in planned and child initiated activities, which support children’s learning and development with effective teaching. We provide learning opportunities in line with the EYFS as well as opportunities that strengthen the child’s physical, emotional and social skills.

The curriculum at Little Explorers also incorporates the following key areas that will help to make a difference and to create a strong foundation for your child’s future and preparing them for school:

Science Explorers

Every week we learn about new science phenomena that encourage the children to explore, problem solve, observe, predict, think, make decisions and talk, learning about the world around them.

Maths Explorers

At Little Explorers, maths is about learning numbers, measuring and showing an awareness of time, shapes, patterns and space, recognising size and weight and working with money.

Literacy Explorers

Reading, chatting away in funny voices as we flick through picture books, enjoying listening to stories by practitioners or other children, singing nursery rhymes can all spark communication and literacy learning.

Art Explorers

Art is used to improve motor skills, improve language development and decision making, it is used to improve visual learning, inventiveness and imagination as well as to promote cultural awareness. .

Cookery Club

At the Little Explorers Cookery Club, children are encouraged to cook from an early age, developing key skills outlined in the EYFS framework, such as time, measuring, counting and weighing.
