Curriculum & Approach
Numu Nursery's stated approach is built on what it calls a Neuro-Mapped British EYFS Curriculum, a fusion of the Early Years Foundation Stage framework with elements drawn from the Reggio Emilia and Montessori philosophies. The nursery describes this blend as the foundation of its progressive approach to early learning, with activities designed to promote innovation, creativity, problem-solving and transferable thinking skills. The curriculum is framed around the 'Golden 1000 Days', the period from birth through early childhood when the nursery says foundational neural connections are formed. Learning plans are described as individualised, with the nursery stating that it tailors activities to each child's needs and interests rather than following a one-size-fits-all model. Language development is highlighted as a particular focus, with the nursery describing 'serve and return' interactions used to introduce children to a spectrum of world languages alongside a core language. A screen-free introduction to coding concepts, branded Coding@2, uses tools such as Lego for education, robots, puzzles and games to build early problem-solving and logic skills.
