Curriculum

Stanmore Park are committed to providing a broad differentiated  curriculum in line with the Early Years Foundation stage for children aged birth to five years old. The children are integrated and learn together. Provision is made for those children who need to spend time in smaller groups.

The playrooms are designed to cover the six areas of learning:

• Communication, language and literacy
• Personal, Social and emotional development
• Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy
• knowledge and understanding of the world
• Creative development
• Physical development

Staff work with smaller groups of children to enhance their learning as and when necessary.

At the centre we believe a child's personal, social and emotional development underpins every aspect of their learning.

We support and encourage children to be:

• Happy and confident
• Respectful of themselves and others
• Independant
• Curious and Creative

The Centre aims to support the children in the key outcomes of the Government's green paper "Every Child Matters".

• Being healthy
