Children Learning Through Play
Paddington Playstation Day Nursery is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage framework, where children learn through play, our curriculum is child centred following the interests and fascinations of the children in each room.
We believe in the importance of outside play which allows children the opportunity to explore and develop a desire to learn, by having the freedom to solve problems and think critically..
The 3 I’s
Intent
We aim to provide motivating holistic experiences that encourage children to develop curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
We are passionate about ‘living in the moment’ and we focus on the process rather than the outcome of learning.
Implementation
We provide opportunities that children may not readily experience and that will enhance their learning. We go on visits within the local community and all visits are learning related.
We support children in becoming confident, independent learners who cope well with transitions. We provide a positive environment where resilience, perseverance and successes are celebrated, and every child feels valued and respected.
Impact
The impact of the EYFS curriculum is reflected in having well rounded, happy, and confident children transitioning into school. Our children are independent, enthusiastic learners that are eager to take part and show a curiosity in the world around them.
We measure progress and children’s learning across the year and aim for children to achieve Good Levels of Development and track their learning by cohorts, sharing the data with our local authority. Almost all our children make more than the expected steps progress from their starting points.
We support children in becoming confident, independent learners who cope well with transitions. We provide a positive environment where resilience, perseverance and successes are celebrated, and every child feels valued and respected.
Each Room takes responsibility for its own planning and is lead by the room senior whose responsibility it is to feed back to Melanie Armstrong – Deputy Manager and Curriculum Lead.
