Nursery Life
In the moment planning
Our activities reflect our “In the Moment Planning” this provides the children with a learning environment that supports their interests as well as their “next steps” of development.
As the child plays, our practitioners will delicately be asking open ended questions to enhance their knowledge, supporting interactions and providing our children opportunities to make their own decisions.
Regular assessments will take place, which will identify any areas of the Early Years Foundation stage that a child may need support with, these will then become the focus for activities for the following period.
We ensure that all children make progress in all areas of development, as every child is an individual.
