St Augustine's Nursery

Our Vision

At St Augustine's Nursery Play, we believe in the power of play to nurture young minds and foster a love of learning in young children. Located in the heart of Highbury, London, our dedicated team provides a stimulating and supportive environment where children can explore, discover, and reach their full potential.

Our Approach

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which emphasizes a child-centered approach to learning, focusing on a combination of individual needs, environment, and the crucial contributions of both adults and professionals. This framework covers seven key areas of development, encompassing:

• Personal, social and emotional development
• Communication and language
• Physical Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

The St Augustine's Difference

Our experienced practitioners create a warm and nurturing environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and social interaction. We prioritize building strong relationships with both children and their families, involving parents in every step of the learning process through regular updates and online platforms like Tapestry.

Areas of Development

Across all areas of development, we nurture the following:

• Confidence and self-esteem: Encouraging exploration and celebrating individual achievements.
• Communication skills: Providing ample opportunities for language development through conversation, storytelling, and dramatic play.
• Social awareness: Fostering empathy, cooperation, and positive relationships.
• Physical development: Encouraging movement and exploration through outdoor play and physical activities.
