Nursery at St. Albans

Our aim is to create a happy and caring environment that enables children to succeed as unique individuals. We provide a safe and secure surrounding, where the children are stimulated and inspired to develop their love of learning. We have high expectations and aspirations for all our children, with a genuine commitment to ensure that our children get the best possible start to their learning journey.

Our Curriculum

We use Development Matters to support learning in Nursery.  Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge, and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development. Our first priority for children in Nursery are the three prime areas.

These are:

Communication and language

Physical Development

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

 These prime areas are most essential for your child’s healthy development and are the building blocks of all future learning. As your child grows, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in the four specific areas.

These are:

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the world

Expressive arts and design

Children in EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside. The 7 areas of learning as set out by Development Matters are used to plan your child’s learning in school. You can find more information about this on our long-term plan below:
