The Nursery Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) covers learning, development and care from birth to the end of the academic year in which a child has their fifth birthday. 

The curriculum at Flagg Nursery School is based on the EYFS, focusing on the needs and interests of every child. We aim to plan exciting, imaginative and practical, hands-on  experiences across all areas of learning and development.

The EYFS covers seven areas of learning and development. 

There are three prime areas of development which provide a secure foundation for future learning. These prime areas are:
  1. Personal, Social and Emotional development
  2. Communication and  Language
  3. Physical Development

Alongside the prime areas of development we teach four specific areas of learning:
  1. Literacy
  2. Mathematics
  3. Understanding the World
  4. Expressive Arts and Design  

Each learning area works towards Early Learning Goals which set out the skills, understanding, knowledge and attitudes which children are expected to reach by the age of five.

Each child's progress will be monitored throughout their time at the nursery. There are opportunities to discuss progress through parent consultation sessions. Staff will share each child's record of achievement, photo assessments and examples of work. A copy of each child's final record will be passed on to their Primary School to aid transition. Staff will always make time and be available to discuss each child and any concerns their parent may have. The most suitable times for a quick chat are at the start of the morning and afternoon sessions, but parents can telephone or email if staying at school is inconvenient.

As per the latest Government guidelines, we would like to confirm that our curriculum actively promotes the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. 

As a part of this we raise money for many charities including Children In Need, NSPCC, Guide Dogs, Oxfam and local charities such as the Bluebell Childrens Hospice. We celebrate national events such as Royal Jubilees; major sporting events such as the Olympics; Remembrance Day; Christmas; Chinese New Year; Easter; Divali; Hannukah; and we celebrate all our children's birthdays.
