Curriculum & Approach
Tiny Dreams Nursery follows the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which underpins its play-based approach to early childhood education. The curriculum is designed to be intent-driven, using play as the primary vehicle for learning, with environments and resources chosen to inspire curiosity, challenge thinking and extend each child's skills at their own pace. Alongside the core EYFS framework, the nursery incorporates a range of research-based, multi-sensory teaching strategies to support early literacy and numeracy, including approaches to phonics, handwriting and early maths. Social and emotional learning is also woven throughout the nursery day, helping children build confidence, resilience and positive relationships with peers and staff. This combination of a recognised international framework with targeted literacy, numeracy and social-emotional strategies aims to give children a well-rounded foundation before they move on to primary school.
Ages & Programs
Age range: 0 to 4 years (N0-N4, SN)
Tiny Dreams Nursery organises children into age-appropriate groups, often referred to as 'Castles', that mirror the ADEK Nursery levels from N0 through to N4, alongside Special Needs (SN) provision. The Infants group welcomes babies from a few months old, followed by Tots, Toddlers and Pre School groupings as children grow towards four years of age. Each stage of the journey is designed to meet children where they are developmentally, gradually building independence, physical skills, communication and readiness for more structured early learning as they progress through the nursery.

Care & Wellbeing
Safeguarding and child welfare sit at the centre of daily life at Tiny Dreams Nursery. The nursery has a comprehensive set of safeguarding policies covering areas such as lone working and pick-up and drop-off procedures, and each site has a Designated Health and Safety Officer present on-site throughout the nursery day. This designated person is responsible for ensuring all staff remain up to date with the latest safeguarding practice and for leading on any concerns that arise, while every member of staff is expected to remain vigilant in their duty of care towards the children. The nursery also places strong emphasis on partnership with families, combining early years expertise with parents' own knowledge of their child to support settling-in and ongoing wellbeing. Only appropriately trained nursery staff are employed, and the setting is checked and registered with the relevant regulatory bodies.
