The Curriculum at Tidbury
A great deal of time and expertise is devoted to ensuring that our well planned CURRICULUM covers each area of learning so that each child can progress towards the Early Learning Goals as specified by the government body - OFSTED.
Our children are divided into three age groups each September for both adult led teaching and play:
- The Cub group is for children who are turning 2 after 1st September
- The Big Bear group is for children who turn 3 after 1st September
- The Swan group is our pre – school group for children who turn 4 after 1st September
Our daily curriculum is planned for each of the groups of children to support targets both for the group and for each child’s individual needs.
Our aim is to help all children attending the nursery to achieve their maximum potential. At Tidbury the team are very aware of the importance of structured but “child-led” play and we put a strong emphasis on “Learning in the Outdoor Environment”.
- We plan activities that both encompass and extend each child's current knowledge and interests.
- This ensures that learning is fun, exciting and meaningful.
OFSTED Report 2024: "Children are keen, eager and motivated to learn. "
OFSTED Report 2024: The Leadership and Management is outstanding:
