At Monkey Puzzle Day Nurseries our approach to your child’s development starts with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework and goes way further to help your child make the most of their time at nursery and prepare them for the journey ahead.

While the EYFS give us a framework or structure of what to base our teaching on and how we teach children the skills they need to be secure in, our trained team constantly review and evaluate the impact of what and how they teach to make sure the content and style meets the individual needs of each child and also those of children with additional needs those for whom English is as an Additional Language.

The principles which guide the work of our Early Years Professionals are grouped into four themes:

  • A unique child – every child is a competent leaner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self assured
  • Positive Relationships – children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or key person
  • Enabling Environments – the environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning
  • Learning and Development – children develop and learn in different ways and at different times; all areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected.

There are three prime areas of learning in which our Early Years Professionals support children to learn and develop. These are:

  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Communication and language
  • Physical development

Plus four specific areas of learning. These are:

  • Knowledge and understanding of the world
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Expressive arts and design

Each child has their own key person to enable them to feel reassured, safe and cared for within our setting.

This person also keeps a detailed Learning Journey of the child’s progress during their time with us. These records are available to be viewed and discussed at any time by parents, who are always encouraged to add details of their child’s experiences from outside the nursery.

If you have any specific questions about the curriculum, please get in touch with our manager, who will be happy to answer any questions.
