Curriculum & Approach
Piccadilly Nursery follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a framework designed to help children learn, develop skilfully, and stay healthy and safe from birth to five years. The nursery's curriculum page sets out the seven areas of learning and development that shape daily activities across its classrooms. These areas cover communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design. Piccadilly's programme also incorporates the Early Learning Goals, which summarise the knowledge, skills and understanding children are expected to gain, alongside regular assessment so that facilitators can discuss each child's progress with parents. Learning at Piccadilly is delivered through a theme-based, play-led approach, combining adult-led activities such as arts and crafts, reading, cooking and music with opportunities for free play in the nursery's entertainment rooms and playground, allowing development to happen at each child's own pace.
