At Crystal Valley Nursery, we recognize that all children, learn through interaction with people and exploring the world around them. We believe children develop independence, security and confidence in a loving and caring environment. Our Nursery staff provide materials, experiences and opportunities that continually challenge our children and stimulate their natural curiosity.
Our Nursery Curriculum is based around the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework incorporating methods from Montessori. Keeping each child's individual strengths and interests at heart and where children are granted the freedom to explore and play, igniting their passion and excitement for learning.
