Curriculum & Approach
Miles Of Smiles follows the EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework, a play-based approach that covers the seven areas of learning across the three prime areas of Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, and Communication and Language, alongside the specific areas of Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design. At the Oud Metha branch, the EYFS curriculum is enriched with daily Arabic lessons and additional French instruction, reflecting the nursery's trilingual, multicultural approach to early education. Learning is delivered through purposeful, hands-on activities that translate curriculum standards into meaningful play experiences for young children. Sustainability and self-awareness are also woven into the daily programme, with child-led inquiries and hands-on eco-activities designed to help children appreciate the world around them from an early age. The overall aim is to build confident, capable learners ready to thrive academically, socially and emotionally.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 5 years
The nursery organises children into five age-based groups. The Baby Class, for children aged 45 days to 16 months, offers a calm, nurturing space with individualised care, gentle routines and sensory exploration to build early trust and communication. The Toddler group, for children aged 16 to 24 months, introduces music, movement and sensory activities alongside practical daily routines that encourage early independence. The Nursery class, for children aged 2 to 3 years, focuses on communication, emotional expression and problem-solving through storytelling, art and imaginative play. FS1, for children aged 3 to 4 years, blends guided learning with purposeful play across early literacy, numeracy and creative thinking within a trilingual environment. FS2, the final stage before primary school for children aged 4 to 5 years, consolidates skills in reading, writing, numeracy and social understanding through phonics, maths games and collaborative projects, preparing children to move on to mainstream school with confidence.
