Curriculum

Artemis Nursery believes that all children deserve an education with memorable experiences that allows our children’s creativity and curiosity to grow, alongside the development of key skills and knowledge. We believe that offering our children a strong foundation and a love of learning gives children the best chance to become happy individuals, ready to succeed in an ever-changing world. We recognise the importance of giving our children the best possible start to their education by planning and implementing teaching and learning opportunities that support them in reaching their full potential. It is our intention to provide a stimulating learning environment where all children can work with adults and peers in a climate of mutual respect to develop confidence in their ability to learn. We aim to provide children with a well-structured, safe, and active learning environment. This will enable our young learners to develop the skills, attitudes and understanding that support our children to become lifelong learners and encourage them to become active members of our ever-changing society.

At Artemis Nursery we recognise that children will learn most effectively when they are healthy, safe and secure, when their individual needs are met and when they have positive relationships with the adults who care for them daily. We aim to provide a setting that encompasses a safe and stimulating environment where children can enjoy learning and grow in confidence that helps them to achieve their potential.
In Early Years we begin with a strong emphasis on intentional teaching and adult-led activities to build the foundation of the children’s learning skills and knowledge and understanding of the curriculum, so that they can apply this learning to child-initiated activities and through continuous provision.

At Artemis we allow Development Matters to guide our knowledge of what our children should be doing at certain points of their lives, and we are providing all the opportunities and activities, to ensure all our children become life long learners.
