At Usworth Colliery Nursery School we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage guidelines published by DfE ‘Early Years Outcomes’.
We plan our play experiences and curriculum with the aim of enabling every child to learn well, be happy and to thrive.
Our children learn about the world around them
They develop their physical skills, thinking skills, creativity, social, emotional and behavioural skills.
We firmly believe in young children learning from first hand and real life play and learning.
Whenever possible, our children experience real and natural resources and we help them to see, touch, feel, smell, listen to and even taste things for themselves.
We carefully plan experiences, activities and resources across the seven areas of learning to ensure each child receives a broad and balanced curriculum.
This can be indoors and outdoors.
