Our Curriculum
Our Approach
At Unique Day Nursery, emphasis is placed on learning through play, exploration and discovery. The provision of high quality interactions, resources and activities enables children to gain the appropriate skills to acquire, develop and maintain social, communication and academic skills.
Our approach to Early Years reflects the Reggio Emilia Philosophy, which is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education. It values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. The philosophy places emphasis on the innate curiosity of children and aims to assist them with understanding their world and who they are in it.
As such, children are provided with the tools to enable them to develop their confidence, independence and their curiosity to learn. Subsequently, this will enable children to leave our provision, prepared with the social skills, and the academic skills to begin their journey within mainstream school.
The Foundation Stage should be filled with learning, exploration and discovery. As such, the design of the curriculum should enable children to be
independent in their learning
and therefore, provide opportunities for reflection and evaluation. Our timetable therefore reflects a balance of adult led and child led activities – structured sessions and freeflow.
Our Learning Environment
At Unique Day Nursery, we believe that in order to foster a love for learning, children need to feel happy, safe, secure and confident. As such, we ensure that we provide a stimulating environment within which, children can independently engage in activities and
experiences that facilitate their holistic development.
The classrooms at Unique Day Nursery, enable the children to engage with continuous provision, which means that the classrooms that have been laid out to ensure that children are able to select resources and equipment independently.
Our immersive EYFS curriculum is designed to place the child at the forefront of their learning, by reflecting the interests and needs of individual children. Our well resourced continuous provision, provides ‘invitations to learn’. Through carefully planned
enhancements and learning provocations, children are provided with opportunities to explore, revisit and build upon their knowledge, skills and understanding.
