Our curriculum planning is based on "Birth to Three Matters" - a framework to support children in their earliest years and the Six Areas of Learning from the Foundation Stage Profile for 3-5 year olds.

Our plans reflect – Equality of opportunity i.e. different cultures, religions, skin tone, dress, diet, abilities, disabilities and gender.

This is evident in our resources i.e. books, construction, puzzles, scale version toys etc. This is also visible in our methods of delivery i.e. we actively support positive images of others
