Our Approach and Inspiration
At Casterton Nursery, we believe that children are innately curious and that this curiosity is a great way for them to learn and develop. Our rooms are designed to provide a stimulating and engaging environment that encourages children to explore, learn and thrive. We use a mixture of open-ended materials and natural resources to create a real and authentic learning environment. This approach allows children to experience different weights and textures, fostering their sense of curiosity and encouraging them to ask questions and seek answers.
The Early Years Foundation Stage
We accept children from 6 weeks old and work closely with parents to ensure that each child's individual needs are met. Our qualified and experienced staff use a range of teaching methods and approaches to deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. This ensures that children receive a high-quality education that prepares them for their future academic and personal development.
Our Rooms
Our nursery rooms are designed to provide a welcoming and inclusive environment that promotes learning and development. Each room is carefully planned to provide a range of activities and resources that cater to different ages and abilities. Our rooms are staffed by experienced and qualified practitioners who provide guidance and support to ensure that children feel safe and supported.
