Curriculum & Approach
The Wonder Years follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, chosen to support cognitive, social and emotional growth across all age groups. The approach is holistic, aiming to build a strong foundation for future learning through both structured activities and free exploration. Interactive, play-based learning underpins daily practice, with activities designed to develop creativity, independence and problem-solving skills. Children move through sensory exploration in the baby rooms, hands-on and imaginative play in the toddler years, and more investigative, child-led learning as they approach the Foundation Stage, where curiosity and questioning are actively encouraged. As children reach pre-school age, the curriculum becomes more structured, with specific areas of learning and play designed to support school readiness while still following the core principles of the British Foundation Stage.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 6 months to 4 years
The nursery organises its rooms by age and stage, beginning with babies from around six months and progressing through toddler and pre-school groups up to four years old. The baby room focuses on sensory exploration within a safe, nurturing environment, supported by a low staff ratio of 1:3 for individualised attention. As children move into the toddler stages, activities shift towards active exploration, sensory play and imaginative, pretend play to build creativity and social interaction. Slightly older toddlers benefit from playful, cognitively engaging activities, opportunities to build language and social skills, and access to an outdoor garden area that extends learning beyond the classroom. In the pre-school rooms, children experience diverse learning zones for messy play, role-play, construction and quiet reading, with an emphasis on independent, child-led discovery. The final stage before school introduces a more structured environment and the full British Foundation Stage curriculum, encouraging investigative learning, questioning and school readiness. Nursery sessions run from 7am or 8am until 1pm, with optional afternoon club sessions extending the day to 2pm, 3:30pm or 6pm.
