At Kaleidoscope we will nurture your child’s potential in all aspects of their development and this includes making sure they are fully prepared for the transition to school.

Child-led learning    Like schools, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and we gradually introduce your child to subject based learning through a variety of play based activities.  Your child’s own interests will steer the learning activities provided as we know that this is how they learn best.  A question asked by your child in circle time may lead to a wealth of learning opportunities in many areas so we will ensure that your child has time to talk and be listened to.

Curiosity    Curiosity-led continuous provision of activities will help your child to make choices as to what they want to work on because children learn through play and play is their work. The pre-school rooms are attractive and stimulating, set out with different areas of provision – home corner, role play area, creative area, number world including computers, mark making areas, small world play and construction, as well as quiet areas for rest and/or reading.

Outdoor Learning    Your child will be able to learn about nature through plenty of natural materials and plants within and outside the room.  When we think back to childhood experiences we value the importance of outdoor learning so we have created safe and secure “free-flow” play areas where your child can choose indoor or outdoor play, whatever the weather!
