NURSERY (AGE 3-4)
Nurturing Growth Through Sensory and Creative Foundations
Our Learning Approach
We believe that children learn best through active, hands-on experiences. Our Nursery curriculum focuses on:
Sensory Exploration
Children are encouraged to explore textures, sounds, smells, and movement to develop sensory awareness, motor skills, and curiosity. Activities include sensory bins, nature walks, sand and water play, and tactile materials.
Creative Play
Through imaginative play and open-ended activities, children build language, social skills, and self-expression. Daily opportunities for dress-up, storytelling, construction, and role-play promote confidence and collaboration.
Practical Life Skills
Children are guided in activities like pouring, sorting, dressing, and tidying up—promoting independence, coordination, and confidence in everyday routines.

Enrichment Areas
In addition to our academic and developmental focus, our Nursery students enjoy a variety of co-curricular experiences:
-
Physical Education (PE)
Daily movement activities to build coordination, balance, and gross motor skills through games, obstacle courses, and outdoor play.
-
Music & Movement
Rhythmic activities, singing, and instruments support musical awareness, memory, and joy in self-expression.
-
Arts & Crafts
Guided and free-choice art using various materials helps children explore colors, textures, and creativity while strengthening fine motor control.
A Safe and Supportive Environment
Our classrooms are calm, colourful, and developmentally designed to promote exploration and comfort. We maintain a low student-teacher ratio to ensure each child receives individual attention, guidance, and support.
Pathway to Reception
The Nursery Class is the first step in our Early Years pathway. With exposure to Cambridge-aligned activities and resources, children are gradually introduced to routines and skills that will prepare them for the Reception Year and beyond.
