The Farm approach
- Learning through play’s our thing – nurturing natural curiosity at an individual pace
- Physical health, wellbeing and movement’s easy when you’re based in a rural idyll
- In line with the government curriculum for early years learning, we use 7 areas to plan your littlie’s learning and activities. We focus on the 3 prime areas first (the ones most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning):
• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development - As your child grows, we develop skills in the next 4 areas:
• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design
