The Nursery curriculum is composed of six areas of

development:

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Language Development
• Physical Development
• The Arts
• Early Mathematical Experiences
• The World Around Us

We aim to provide a broad and balanced range of experiences which will help each child to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually, at their own pace. Children will have opportunities for

solitary, parallel and group play.

It is our hope and intention that children, through the experiences offered, will:

• Grow in confidence, expressing their needs and desires
• Develop a positive attitude towards learning
• Determine their own actions and make their own choices
• Discover that exploring and being curious are important ways of learning
• Set their own challenges, solve problems, ask questions and make predictions
• Experiment with materials and explore actively with all their senses
• Learn to pay attention, maintain concentration and perseverance
• Develop self-control and positive strategies for resolving conflict

· Use language confidently to interact socially with one another and with adults, during play.
