Willow Children's Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, a UK-based curriculum recognised for its structured yet play-based approach to early learning. This is combined with the Curiosity Approach, which encourages open-ended, child-led exploration using natural and thoughtfully chosen resources rather than prescriptive activities. Together, these two approaches allow children to develop at their own pace while building the literacy, numeracy, social and emotional skills expected of the EYFS stages. Early learning practitioners at Willow are trained to engage in in-the-moment teaching, following each child's interests and supporting them to see ideas through to completion with gentle guidance rather than direct instruction. The nursery describes its style of learning as multi-disciplinary, helping children pull together different skills rather than learning them in isolation, with the aim of preparing them for the real world and for a smooth transition into primary school.
الفئة العمرية: 45 days to 6 years
Willow organises its provision by age and stage, with dedicated rooms and teaching approaches for each group between 45 days and 6 years old. Babies aged 45 days to 12 months are cared for in two dedicated creche rooms located within the main building for added safety, staffed by qualified early-learning practitioners who provide daily progress reports. Toddlers aged 1 to 2 years experience discovery-based teaching designed to nurture curiosity and confidence, while children aged 2 to 3 years in the Preschool group build self-reliance and emotional intelligence through role play and child-led learning. The Foundation stage, for children aged 3 to 4 years, focuses on school readiness through reading, writing, maths and social-emotional development delivered through a play-based approach. A further Foundation 2 group caters for children aged 4 to 6 years, supporting families who choose to keep their child at Willow during the early part of their formal schooling, with personalised attention in small class sizes to ease the transition into school life.
