At Treetops the children follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The children are constantly encountering new experiences and seeking to understand them in order to extend their skills, develop their confidence and build on what they already know. The foundation stage is continued in reception classes in primary school. The foundation stage is based on six areas of learning which are: -
This area of learning is about emotional well-being, knowing who you are and where you fit in and how to feel good about yourself. It is also about developing respect for others, social competence and a positive attitude to learn.
The ability to communicate gives children the capacity to participate more fully in society. We will help your child to learn to talk confidently and clearly, enjoying stories, songs and rhymes. They will learn to link sounds with letters, develop writing skills, and become familiar with books.
Your child will develop an understanding of mathematics through counting, sorting, matching, seeking patterns and making connections. We will encourage learning about numbers, shapes, space, and measures through games and activities.
Children in this area of learning are developing skills and understanding that help them to make sense of the world around them. This forms the foundation for later work in science, history and geography. They will find out about past events in their own lives and those of their family. They will also find out about different cultures and beliefs.
Here children will learn to improve skills in co-ordination, manipulation and movement, develop a positive sense of well- being and begin to recognise the importance of keeping healthy. They will have plenty of opportunities to play outside in our fantastic garden and we will also have frequent access to public playing fields and a play park.
Children will be encouraged to express their thoughts, ideas and feelings, imaginatively using a wide variety of different materials and equipment including sand, water, paint and music.
Our purpose is to provide a safe and secure homely setting where children can flourish, develop, and learn, through child lead organised play and learning opportunities which will nurture their potential as an individual. We work closely with the child's home network to meet their specific needs and follow the “Early Years Foundation Stage” curriculum to ensure a complete learning and developmental experience.
Our vision is to be a locally recognised name with an outstanding reputation for providing the best care available in the area. We want to build on our current business of children's indoor soft play to create an all round local amenity at the heart of the community with a reputation for high standards and quality service.
Our Values are to have a team of professional staff who are experienced in ensuring the children learn and develop through play, and to maintain a nursery of the highest standards. We are approachable and friendly and encourage feedback as much as possible. We continually assess our provisions with the aim of providing excellent facilities now and in the future.
