Curriculum and Learning

 Buttercup Nurseries is committed to providing a high quality learning environment which offers children opportunities to develop their individual skills and talents. Children learn best when offered the opportunity to become active in their own learning through activities which promote choice, selection and decision making.

At Buttercup Nurseries in order to encourage holistic development our curriculum and learning follows national early years guidance and supports the development of all children through Birth to Three Framework and Foundation Stage Curriculum.

Birth to Three Framework recognises that all children from birth need to develop and learn as individuals through interaction with people and exploration of the world around them.

Here at Buttercup, our staff and effective practise supports the development of the “whole” child encouraging healthy, competent children who are able to communicate their wishes and develop as confident individuals. 

Children at Buttercup Learning Through PlayObservation of children provides a seamless transition from Birth to Three to Foundation Stage Curriculum for children aged 3 to 5 years.  Here at Buttercup, play is at the centre of all learning.  Short, medium and long term planning by staff focuses on the individuality, efforts and achievements of child initiated opportunities and allows each child to become leader in their own learning.
