Our Aspirational Curriculum
A large reason for the continued success of our nursery group is our unique ASPIRE curriculum. Which has been specifically designed to meet the needs of local communities and to prepare children for their next steps (While leaving plenty of time for fun along the way!).
The key elements of our curriculum include:
- Learn – We aspire for our children to learn about themselves, their communities and the environment around them
- Achieve – We want our children to achieve through Early Intervention and Inclusion, through learning language for life, and through early teaching experiences. This is a big contributor to preparing them for primary school.
- Protect – To achieve this we make sure everyone is looking out and caring for others.
- Develop – We aspire to develop our children through a commitment to our staff teams of monitoring performance, providing training and development opportunities, supporting wellbeing and in recognising quality practice and teaching.
- Be ready for the next life stages – We’ll ensure your child is confident to move onto the next step, we encourage independence and teach valuable life skills to make them more confident within themselves
To help them achieve these aims of our curriculum each child is assigned a dedicated ‘key’ member of our team. Who they will work closely with, giving your child the best start to their journey in education.
