Curriculum & Approach
The nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, enhanced with Arabic, Islamic studies and French. This framework guides teaching and learning across the seven key areas of development, split into prime areas, communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development, and specific areas, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Learning is delivered through a balance of teacher-led and child-initiated play, reflecting the belief that play underpins intellectual, creative, physical, social and emotional growth in young children. Daily activities are designed to help children experience discovery, problem-solving and creativity while building the self-confidence needed for their next steps in education. Alongside the core EYFS areas, the nursery introduces enrichment such as art, music and science or experiment-based activities, along with access to a specialist psychologist, supporting the whole child rather than academic progress alone.
