Our Learning Approach (EYFS Curriculum)

UK children learn mostly through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Our nursery also uses this guidance. This strategy promotes child development via child led play, exploration and discovery.

Communication and Language:

Children learn to speak, listen, and share. Telling stories, singing, and group conversation improve communication skills.

Physical Development:

Climbing, running, painting, and building improve coordination and strength.

Personal, Social, and Emotional Development:

Children learn to share, collaborate, and understand others. They make friends and feel good about themselves using these abilities.

Literacy Skills:

Children learn rhymes and sounds.

Mathematics:

Fun activities teach numerical skills. Games and play help children count, sort, and recognise patterns.

Understanding the World:

Children learn about people, places, and nature by exploring. Plants, seasons, and civilisations can be discussed.

Expressive Arts and Design:

Music, painting, dance, and role play foster creativity. Children may express their thoughts and imagination with these activities.

Our practitioners tailor activities to each child’s stage of development at Urmston Day Nursery.

Outdoor Play and Physical Development

Early childhood learning includes outdoor play. Fresh air, activity, and open areas help children to develop healthy and strong.

Our childcare has secure outside places for running, climbing, and exploring. These exercises boost confidence and fitness.

Outdoor games include:

• Running/balancing games
• Ball games, group activities
• Nature exploration
• Activities in the garden

Playing outside also helps children learn how to work together and as a team. They learn how to work together, follow simple rules, and handle small problems while playing games.

Being outside also helps you focus and feel better. After playing outside, children often come back inside ready to chill and relax.

To ensure everyone is safe at all times, our team continuously monitors all outdoor activities.

Healthy Meals and Nutrition

Healthy meals are essential to the growing child.

Children consume nutritious meals daily in the nursery. Child-friendly meals help them grow.

We can cater for allergens and specific diets.

If not weaned, parents provide their preferred breast or formula milk. The nursery cook will blend meals to each baby’s liking when they start on solids.

This strategy carefully introduces new tastes and textures while feeding them food appropriate for their growth.

Children can also develop social skills at meals. Eating together facilitates communication and strong connections.

Admissions and Enrolment Information

Parental childcare enrollment should be easy and stress-free. At every stage of the admissions process, we give clear information and help. We use Famly software to help with this.

Parents should call the nursery to enquire about available spaces and programming. We invite family visits to see the facilities and meet our team.

The enrollment procedure often includes:

• Initial parental inquiry
• Nursery tour
• Registration form, documents
• Enrolment confirmation
• Child settling in sessions

Children adjust to the new surroundings during orientation. This gives them confidence before attending full-day childcare.

Our team covers daily routines, development, and specific requirements.
