At Lord Street Nursery we intend that our ambitious and inclusive curriculum enables and empowers children to be effective, inquisitive, curious, independent learners. Our curriculum is child centred and designed around the child's interests as we believe their enjoyment of learning, engagement and motivation develops more effectively in this way.
The early years play a crucial role in making life-chances more equal for everyone and we wish our children to believe in themselves and their abilities We aim to motivate, inspire and challenge children in their learning.
The children gain early knowledge and skills through first hand experiences, and are encouraged to follow their natural curiosity and interests in order to develop a love of learning.
