Leaping Lilies Day Nursery

Our approach is inspired by expeditionary and inquiry-based learning of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Italy and the European “Forest” school movement while also working with the EYFS.

 Alongside the home experience, Nursery is the foundation stone upon which each child's social, emotional, physical and intellectual development will be cemented. Within the classroom environment a variety of activities will take place alongside the core subjects, English, Maths and Science. 

Safe, Secure & Confident

It is essential that children feel safe, secure and confident. Nursery should be a fun, exciting and stimulating experience for every child. 

Many & Varied Activities

We place a high degree of importance on the many and varied experiences that children bring to nursery from home and aim to incorporate these into our planning.

Self-Esteem

A child's self-confidence and self-esteem must not be damaged by overloading it with educational information. It must be relevant and provide a positive experience for them.

Using ICT Safely

There is a strong emphasis on the importance of ICT and children will be encouraged to learn to use the computer safely and effectively. 

European Languages

There will also be opportunities for learning the basics of other European languages, such as French, to develop an awareness of the different languages reflected in our Nursery and immediate environment.

Stories, Literature & Poetry

Our Nursery also aims to encourage and promote a positive, enthusiastic approach to all forms of literature, from poetry and rhymes to developing a core base of familiar and favourite books and stories.

Bringing the Classroom into the Nursery

By integrating classroom activities for 3-4 year olds within the Nursery setting, we aim to provide a learning experience, which is not only conducive to the Foundation stage of learning but which also begins to embrace the many and varied experiences our child will be facing upon reaching school.

This in no way detracts from the everyday routine of Nursery. It merely complements it. The structure of a classroom environment enables the children to familiarise themselves with the daily organisation and movement within a class. It also increases their independence, as they learn to find and use resources themselves and facilitate some of their own learning.
