We follow a play-based curriculum that places the child at the centre of their learning journey. Our approach is designed to support the social, emotional, and cognitive development of each child through meaningful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate experiences.
Our curriculum is guided by national frameworks, including Realising the Ambition: Being Me and the Curriculum for Excellence. These support our commitment to delivering high-quality early learning and childcare that nurtures curiosity, resilience, confidence, and wellbeing, while aligning with local and national guidance.
We follow the sleep pattern of each individual child and they sleep either in a cot or on a mattress, in a well ventilated, temperature controlled room in the nursery.
At the Woods, children are given the opportunity to rest or nap if needed within the shelter.
We believe there is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing! Children will continue to play and learn outside in rain, wind, or snow. However, we have sheltered areas and indoor spaces for extreme conditions.
Safety is our top priority. We conduct thorough risk assessments, supervise children closely, and teach them how to manage risks safely. Our staff are trained in first aid and outdoor safety.
We offer a healthy, nutritious lunch, morning and afternoon snacks, often incorporating seasonal and locally sourced ingredients. Special dietary requirements are accommodated.
We maintain strong, open communication with families through our ope-door policy and close relations. Parents are encouraged to speak with us regularly, and we share updates through daily handovers, digital platforms, and meetings to keep you informed and involved in your child's learning.
