Our Enhanced Curriculum

What we offer is an enhanced educational experience in our Nursery and Pre school that goes beyond the Statutory EYFS Our enhanced curriculum provides children with a wide range of exciting experiences.

These include:

  • Forest School sessions
  • Specialist teaching from highly qualified staff
  • High-quality learning resources
  • Additional enrichment opportunities that support children's curiosity, confidence and independence

The Enhanced Curriculum Fee is charged weekly. Children attending two or more days each week will have the opportunity to take part in every aspect of the programme at least once during the week. This means they can enjoy these enhanced experiences whenever they attend, without additional charges for individual activities.

Parents may choose not to participate in the Enhanced Curriculum. To enable us to plan staffing and activities effectively, this option is only available for children who attend Nursery or Pre-school on Mondays or Fridays.
