Children develop more rapidly during the first five years of their lives than at any other time. Well-planned play and rich experiences supported by quality and timely teaching interactions are key ways in which young children learn with enjoyment and challenge and this is our approach at Laureate. We foster independence and important life-long skills such as a ‘can do’ attitude, motivation, involvement and concentration, having ideas, finding and choosing ways to do things and pride in achieving.

Our indoor and outdoor environments are thoughtfully designed. We are very lucky to have a brand new large, safe and exciting garden as well as our playground that the children love and where they are encouraged to run, climb, ride bicycles, dig, play imaginatively and explore whatever the weather. We value and encourage parents and carers to take an active interest in their child’s education and offer lots of opportunities for them to do so through share sessions and projects. We use the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance, tailored to each child’s needs and led by their interests as a basis for learning and development in the following areas:

1. Communication and Language
2. Physical Development
3. Personal, Social and Emotional Development
4. Literacy
5. Mathematics
6. Understanding the World
7. Expressive Arts and Design
