Mad Hatter's
Nursery School
Our Child-Led Curriculum
Mad Hatter’s has a warm and welcoming environment in which every child is encouraged to participate in a wide variety of play and educational activities through our indoors and outdoors curriculum. We work within the guidelines set out by the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, delivering the curriculum through varied, exciting and challenging activities.
The EYFS and Mad Hatters seek to provide:
-
Quality and consistency in the setting, so that every child makes good progress and no child is left behind.
-
A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities, which are planned around the needs and interest of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly.
-
Working in partnership with other practitioners, parents and or carers and outside agencies.
-
Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported.
