Nurseries following the EYFS framework typically organise learning around seven areas of development, including communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Activities are generally play-based and designed to build foundational skills at each child's own pace. Where Montessori principles are also applied, as at Doura Nursery, this usually brings an additional focus on child-led exploration, practical life skills, and the use of specially designed materials that encourage independence, concentration and sensory learning. Combining these two approaches often means children benefit from both the guided structure of EYFS assessment and the self-directed, hands-on ethos associated with Montessori practice. Across the N0 to N4 stages, this dual approach generally supports a gradual progression from sensory and exploratory activities in the earliest stages towards more structured pre-literacy, pre-numeracy and social skills as children approach Kindergarten age. Parents interested in the specifics of how the curriculum is delivered at Doura Nursery are advised to speak with the nursery directly.
Age range: 45 days to 4 years
Doura Nursery accepts children across the N0, N1, N2, N3 and N4 stages, alongside a Special Needs (SN) programme, meaning provision spans from the earliest nursery entry point through to the year before Kindergarten. Typically, nurseries structure these stages by age group, with activities and expectations becoming progressively more advanced as children move from N0 through to N4. Parents should confirm with the nursery directly which specific age each stage corresponds to and how the SN programme is structured.
