Our Curriculum

Little Rainbow Day Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. This focuses on the children as unique individuals, allows us to map their progress over the seven key learning areas and identify where they may need help. All paper work used to document the curriculum has been put together for the children by the Little Rainbow Team and overseen by a qualified teacher. Children’s observations, reports and daily diaries are accessible to parents at all times through our Famly and Eylog apps and the child’s Key Carer or the nursery manager are always available to discuss any questions or address any concerns.

 The seven areas of learning covered are:

• Communication and Language
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

Our daily activities and play opportunities are planned through these areas and each child will be treated as an individual and presented with lots of opportunities every day to develop and reach their potential through play. Staff encourage the children to be confident and independent, and endeavour to develop their self-esteem.

 We believe our relationship and communication with parents is paramount. To ensure parents feel part of their children’s care we have immediate communication with rooms and with the team at all times. Our team will regularly publish photos and information on what has happened at the nursery during the week and offer parents the opportunity to share pictures and events that have happened at home.
