The Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on the children's interests and ideas and is designed to enable the children progress and achieve in all seven areas of development.

Prime Areas:

    •    Personal, Social and Emotional

    •    Physical

    •    Communication and Language

Specific Areas:

    •    Mathematics

    •    Literacy

    •    Understanding the World

    •    Expressive Art and Design

The children learn through play-based activities and resources, inside and outside, as recommended in the nationally approved Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.   Children are able to explore and experience developmentally appropriate activities independently, with lots of praise and encouragement from News staff. Working in partnership with parents, guardians and extended families plays a crucial role in helping the children achieve the best possible outcomes and we enjoy excellent relationships with our families, achieving a 100% approval rating in our latest Parent Satisfaction Survey.
