Curriculum

EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Curriculum.

At Baby Bears Nursery, we follow EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) British Curriculum.

With EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) Curriculum, we encourage children to make their own choices which helps to develop confidence and independence.

The EYFS framework sets out the requirements for the care of young children relating to Learning, Development, and Welfare, and the framework below sets the UK standards for learning, development, and care for children from 45 days to 4 years.

A Unique Child

At Baby Bears Nursery, we focus on how children develop; we recognize they are all different, but should be treated equally. Positive relationships and good communication are vital. Children need to learn about risks and safety, make good choices, and stick to boundaries. We make every attempt to provide full opportunity for each child to do their best and we achieve this by ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met during their time with us.

Positive Relationships

We support children in learning to manage their feelings and build relationships. We respect all kinds of families and aim to develop positive, two-way relationships with parents. We will support, listen, and work with the children to help them learn. Each age group has a key person during their time at the setting to support and comfort your child during their time with us and to build profiles and support play and learning.

Enabling Environments

We plan and check on each child's progress and make every attempt to involve parents and the local community. We ensure that the inside and outside spaces of the nursery are safe, interesting, and engaging. We support children in their transitions by working with families and other settings: working as a team to help children succeed.
