Nursery Activities
The nursery have a planned range of activities, following both the children's interests, and encouraging the children to explore and learn through their play. The children will be supported in learning social skills, and attention will be given to their different needs. The children will be allowed to develop their concentration and independence through free play, and some structured activity each day, that will allow them to learn how to interact in a group, appropriate to their age.
The nursery program for three and four years old will cover each of the learning areas designated by the Foundation Stage of the National Curriculum.
The three key areas are:
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Communication and language
- Physical development
