We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which includes four distinct but complementary principles, which shape and underpins our practice;

• A Unique Child – We recognise that every child is a competent learner from birth, who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

• Positive Relationships – We recognise that children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.

• Enabling Environment – We understand that both the physical and emotional environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.

• Learning and Development – We acknowledge that children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates, and that all areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected.

At Wombourne Community Nursery, we offer a unique enquiry led curriculum, which focuses on being responsive to children's interests in order to create meaningful learning experiences. 
This philosophy involves active participation, strong attachments and relationship building, child led enquiry and play-based learning.
Our enquiry led curriculum starts with the child, follows their lead and provides opportunities for our skilled team of early years professionals to scaffold children's learning further. 
Our nursery environment allows children to explore their areas of interest, moving freely around the setting and playing together to develop new ideas. Our equipment, toys and resources are stored at children's level in order for them to be fully accessible to the children, visually and physically. We offer open ended materials which encourage children to experience and manipulate materials in different ways.
