Curriculum

How does Raising Explorers Nursery implement the EYFS curriculum?

At Raising Explorers Nursery, we deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum through a balanced and child-centred approach. Our aim is to support each child’s development by creating a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment where they can learn through play, exploration, and positive relationships. We follow a play-based approach that encourages children to be active learners, follow their interests, and develop curiosity about the world around them. Our experienced practitioners carefully observe and assess each child’s progress, using this knowledge to plan meaningful and engaging activities that support individual learning and development. We provide an enabling environment that promotes independence, confidence, and creativity. Resources are accessible and age-appropriate, supporting children across all seven areas of learning, including the prime areas (Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social and Emotional Development) and the specific areas (Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, and Expressive Arts and Design). We work in close partnership with parents and carers, valuing their insights and involving them in their child’s learning journey. Regular updates, observations, and two-way communication ensure consistency and continuity between nursery and home. Inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. We celebrate diversity and ensure that every child feels valued, respected, and supported in their individual development. Through careful planning, warm relationships, and purposeful play, we ensure that every child at Raising Explorers Nursery receives the best possible start in life.

What impact does the curriculum have on the children?

At Raising Explorers Nursery, the EYFS curriculum has a positive and lasting impact on every child’s early development. Our approach ensures that children are not only prepared for school, but are also confident, curious, and eager learners.

By following a child-centred, play-based curriculum, children develop strong communication and social skills, emotional resilience, and a lifelong love of learning. They build secure relationships with adults and peers, feel safe to express themselves, and gain confidence in their abilities.

The curriculum supports children’s progress in all seven areas of learning, helping them to meet developmental milestones at their own pace. Whether it’s early literacy and numeracy, physical skills, or creativity, each child is given the support and challenge they need to thrive.

Our nurturing and inclusive environment fosters independence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. Children learn how to work together, explore their interests, and understand the world around them.

By the time they leave us, children are well-rounded, emotionally secure, and ready for the next stage of their educational journey.
