Our Activites

Development Stage Learning

Our curriculum is split into three sections and includes stimulating and well-planned activities to support each child’s learning at each stage. There is a good balance between education and play.

Activities are managed according to each stage of development through positive interactions which are facilitated by well qualified and experienced staff.

Our activities include play (creative, manipulative, physical, dramatic, theatrical, water, social, and extended), science, maths, reading books, storytelling, construction, cultural activities, life skills, character development, music, dance, performing arts, information technology, and lots more.

A holistic approach allows for learning opportunities to occur naturally for each child in every activity and development is focused around individual interests.
