Curriculum & Approach
Small World Nursery delivers the British EYFS curriculum, blending structured, teacher-guided activities with plenty of child-led play. Key areas of learning covered include communication and language, physical development, and personal, social and emotional development, giving children a broad foundation before they move on to primary school. The nursery's approach is built around four stated pillars: happiness, resilience, well-being and the EYFS curriculum itself. Daily touches such as dance, sensory play and disco playdough are used to embed joy into learning, while activities are designed to help children identify and manage everyday risks and challenges in a supported way. Well-being is woven through the day via yoga and breathing exercises, alongside conversations about nutrition and healthy food choices, so that children begin to build a positive relationship with their own health from an early age. Enrichment classes in Arabic, French, cooking, ball skills, water play and outdoor activity supplement the core EYFS programme across the age groups.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 45 days to 6 years
Small World Nursery organises children into age-appropriate groups spanning infants from 45 days old through to Foundation Stage two at 4-5 years. Each stage has its own programme outline, ratios and enrichment focus so that activities match children's developmental needs. The Toddler programme covers children from walking age to 24 months, with a 1:3 child-to-staff ratio. The day balances nurturing care with construction and pretend play, sensory exploration and language development, supported by enrichment including Arabic, French, cooking, kinder dance, outdoor time, gym and water play. The Pre-School programme is for children aged 2 to 3 years, taught at a 1:6 ratio. Daily small-group circle time, cooperative play and concepts such as past/present and before/after are introduced, alongside enrichment classes in Arabic, French, cooking, ball skills, Kinder Tots, outdoor play and water play. Older children progress into Foundation Stage One (3-4 years) and Foundation Stage Two (4-5 years) classes as part of the same EYFS pathway. Families can choose from 2, 3 or 5 day attendance patterns across most age groups, with timings from 7:30/8:00am through to 12:30pm, 2:00pm or 6:00pm, allowing schedules to be tailored to each family's needs.
