Curriculum & Approach
Yellow Kite Nursery follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, providing structured, age-appropriate learning experiences across early literacy, mathematics and science to support a smooth transition to school. Alongside EYFS, the nursery draws on Reggio Emilia design strategies and Montessori-inspired practical life tools to encourage creative self-expression and hands-on exploration. The nursery is accredited under the Curiosity Approach, a framework that uses authentic, open-ended resources and natural materials to spark curiosity and independent thinking. This is paired with Hygge-inspired classroom design, using neutral tones, natural wood and soft lighting to reduce overstimulation and support emotional regulation and concentration. Eco education is embedded through weekly recycling, composting and gardening activities, while British Forest School principles are delivered through the nursery's 25,000-square-foot outdoor garden, used as an outdoor classroom for nature-based play and environmental learning. A dedicated Arabic teacher delivers daily 30-minute language lessons, and extra-curricular activities include yoga, football, French, swimming and music.
