We work closely to the National Curriculum for children entering compulsory education outlined by Cambridgeshire Footsteps. Each term we focus on a new theme, which enables us to introduce new ideas, concepts and skills. A brief outline is presented below (full details are displayed on our notice board):

- includes learning to be part of a group, learning personal independence, solving problems, and showing consideration to others' feelings. |

Language and literacy |
- includes encouraging self expression in discussions with children and adults, responding to stories, songs and rhymes, handling books, recognising alphabet sounds, using books in all situations, and encouraging emergent writing. |
