Curriculum & Approach
Gardenia's teaching team is described as EYFS qualified, with staff experienced in early childhood education. The nursery states that its leaders and teachers work to deliver a 'Positive Education' approach, aiming to achieve academic learning goals while also developing children's personal skills across the academic year and through summer camp terms. Alongside academic learning, the nursery references a wellbeing programme intended to monitor and support each child's personal development. Classes are organised by age and stage, moving from baby care through toddler, pre-Foundation and Foundation Stage groupings, allowing the approach to be adapted as children grow from infancy towards school readiness.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 5 years 9 months
Gardenia organises children into six main classes according to age and stage of development. Cherry Class is the baby room, caring for infants from 45 days old up to walking age, with an emphasis on maintaining each child's familiar home routine within the nursery day. Orange Class is the toddler group, welcoming children from the walking stage up to around 24 to 30 months, focusing on stimulating, safe play-based learning. Grape Class follows for children aged roughly 2 years 6 months to 3 years, described as the pre-Foundation Stage 1 group, where early reading, writing and numeracy skills are introduced through small group activities. Green Apple and Lemon Class both sit within the Foundation Stage 1 age range, covering children from around 3 years to 4 years 6 months, preparing them for their first year of formal schooling. Banana Class is the Foundation Stage 2 group, for children from approximately 4 years 8 months to 5 years 9 months, continuing to build academic and social foundations.
