Curriculum & Approach
Learning Spaces Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a framework built around four overarching principles: that every child is unique and capable, that children learn best through positive relationships, that they thrive in enabling environments tailored to their needs, and that all children, including those with special educational needs and disabilities, develop and learn at their own pace. The EYFS is delivered across seven areas of learning, split into prime areas (personal, social and emotional development; physical development; communication and language) and specific areas (literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design). Alongside the EYFS, the nursery draws on the Reggio Emilia approach, creating purpose-built spaces such as ateliers, a water play area, a library and community areas like the Piazza and dining room where children, teachers and families come together. Children whose first language is Arabic are supported by a full-time qualified Arabic teacher who introduces stories, poems, cultural awareness and celebrates national traditions, while international staff bring additional languages including Italian, German, Spanish and French. Learning is tracked through continuous observation and assessment, with daily notes on child-initiated and adult-led activities feeding into each child's individual learning journal, compiled by their key person with photographs, work samples and parental feedback. Once a year, families receive an in-depth report summarising their child's achievements, and children are encouraged to pursue long-term projects that can evolve over weeks or months according to their interests. The nursery also works with a team of educational specialists and a child psychologist to support children with special educational needs in collaboration with their families.
