Curriculum - Grange Day Nursery

Our weekly curriculum is carefully planned to provide a rich, varied, and engaging experience for every child

We believe that children learn best through play, and our programme is designed to balance structured learning with child-led discovery.

Rooted in the Curiosity Approach Our curriculum encourages hands-on exploration, imagination, and independence while supporting all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Each week, we explore a new theme that helps to spark interest and extend learning. These may include:

 All About Me  Seasons and Weather  Animals and Nature  People Who Help Us  Space and the Planets  Traditional Tales and Storytelling  Healthy Living and Wellbeing

Enrichment Activities To further enhance our weekly curriculum we offer enrichment sessions throughout the term, including: • Music and Movement • Mini Yoga and Mindfulness • Storytelling and Puppet Theatre • Cooking and Baking • Celebration Days – festivals and cultural events Outdoor Learning Outdoor play is a vital part of our daily programme, and children spend time outside every day – rain or shine. Our outdoor sessions include: • Sensory play (water, sand, mud kitchen) • Gardening and nature discovery • Physical games and obstacle courses • Seasonal exploration and weather-themed activities

Learning through play Our activities are designed to support the prime and specific areas of learning within the EYFS: • Communication and Language – songs, stories, role-play, and group discussions • Physical Development – outdoor play, dance, yoga, and fine motor activities • Personal, Social and Emotional Development – group tasks, turn- taking, and confidence-building games • Literacy – phonics play, storytelling, letter recognition • Mathematics – counting games, number songs, measuring, sorting, and matching • Understanding the World – nature walks, cultural festivals, science investigations • Expressive Arts and Design – painting, modelling, music, drama, and messy play EYFS - Early Years Foundation Stage Click here for more information.
