Our Curriculum

Our curriculum draws inspiration from multiple curriculums used throughout the world. Our basis comes from the UK's EYFS framework, whilst techniques & activities stem from Montessori style & the Highscope curricula. These three curricula's combined give a well-rounded, wholesome approach to learning and overall development. Our framework seeks to develop 3 key areas (Communication & Language, Physical Development, Personal, Social & Emotional Development) and then later, 4 key aspects (Literacy, Mathematics, Expressive Arts/Design, The World Around Us).

Our programme seeks to nurture the emotional, social and academic growth of our each child that passes through our center. We believe that through love and care, all children are capable of reaching their goals. The Hive is a home away from home and all children are encouraged to create bonds with our staff and peers that has them not wanting to leave at the end of each day.

3 Key Areas

Communication & Language

Communication is key to understanding. We aim to develop our children into confident communicators who are able to express themselves freely and eloquently. This area includes speech, reading, writing & questioning.

Physical Development

A child's physical development aids them holistically. We begin from the first steps and into our weekly P.E lessons that focus on their gross motor skills, hand-eye coordination and agility. An active child is a healthy child.

Personal, Social, Emotional Development

Being able to express feelings, wants, needs and problems is a huge part of our programme. Our children are encouraged to have an open line of communication where they can clearly and comfortably express themselves. Being able to socialise, make friends and boundaries is a key component to the overall healthy development of our children. 

4 Key Aspects

Literacy

The term "literacy" is used by some to simply describe reading and writing, but in fact literacy covers a much wider range of learning.

Literacy in the early years includes talking about books, print in the environment, early mark making and writing, as well as sharing books and reading.

Mathematics

Mathematics is not just about adding & subtracting. It is all about understanding and using shape, space, measures and numbers to solve everyday problems like how much sticky tape to use to wrap a parcel or the number of red balloons that would need to be bought so that there were enough for all the children attending a party.

Expressive Arts & Design

Expressive Arts & Design encompasses a wide breadth of creative areas, such as listening and responding to music, singing, dancing and performing, experimenting with colour mixing and different textures, creating models, for example, junk modelling, small world, construction and role play.

Understanding the World

Our children learn about similarities and differences in relation to places, objects, materials and living things. They talk about the features of their own immediate environment and how environments might vary from one another. They make observations of humans, animals and plants and explain why some things occur, and talk about changes.’
