Curriculum

At First Steps Nursery we have carefully designed a curriculum which supports all of our children to develop and thrive . Throughout the year children will experience a range of  carefully planned topics which complements their own child-led play.  We ensure that we plan for children’s interests as well as celebrating different local events.
 First Steps values child-led learning and staff are skilled in supporting children’s next steps through high quality interactions. We carefully plan for our children’s learning by ensuring short adult-led sessions in mathematics and literacy also helps to prepare our oldest children for the transition to school.

“The newly implemented curriculum is ambitiously designed. Leaders thoughtfully work with local schools to select educational programmes that deliver their curriculum effectively. For example, children join in with daily literacy sessions that build phonological awareness. They learn rhymes, sounds and visuals of letters in the alphabet through games that provide familiarity when children transition to school. Staff skilfully deliver this well, both playfully and energetically helping children to have a go and keep on trying to meet important milestones in their learning and development.”
