Curriculum & Approach
Ranches Nursery follows the same ethos as Ranches Primary School, which delivers the National Curriculum of England. The approach is built around the RPS Character Compass of commitment, courage, curiosity, creativity, co-operation and compassion, embedding these values into everyday early years experiences. The school's stated vision centres on happiness and confidence as the foundation for learning, underpinned by the core values of resilience, purpose and success. In the nursery years, this translates into a caring, supportive environment where children are encouraged to enjoy being children while developing early social, emotional and academic foundations. Curiosity and play are described as central to learning in the nursery, with inspirational teachers aiming to instil a love of learning from the earliest stage, preparing children for a confident move into Foundation Stage One.
Ages & Programs
Ranches Nursery sits alongside Ranches Primary School's Foundation Stage One, Foundation Stage Two and Year 1 to Year 6 classes, with the nursery year forming the earliest stage of the school's admissions pathway. Children joining the nursery benefit from dedicated, age-appropriate play areas designed specifically for the youngest learners, separate from those used by Foundation Stage One and Foundation Stage Two pupils. The nursery is designed to provide a natural first step into the wider RPS community, with a focus on settling children in gently before they move on to Foundation Stage One as part of the school's British curriculum pathway.
