The Play People - York Gardens Nursery

Nurseries where children learn through their play..


Early Learning with the Play People

At our nurseries we provide a high quality learning environment that supports all children attending the nursery to thrive. Learning journeys  for each child's development are created showing their abilities, progress, interests. 

We acknowledge that children learn in different ways and at different rates and plan for this accordingly based on accurate assessments supported by our knowledge and understanding of child development.

Using The Early Years Foundation Stage framework set by the Department for Education we support and enhance children’s learning and development holistically. We view all aspects of learning and development equally and ensure a flexible approach is maintained, which responds quickly to children’s learning and developmental needs. We develop tailor-made activities based on observations of children which inform future planning and draw on children’s interests. This is promoted through a balance of adult-led and child-initiated opportunities both indoors and outdoors.

All children have a dedicated early years educator (key person) who work as a team to create a rich play environment for children. The learning experience is designed to ensure equality of opportunity between all children and celebrates diversity. More information on inclusion is included in the Equal Opportunities Policy.

We welcome and encourage parental involvement from the onset as outlined in our Parents and Carers Partners policy. Part of this involvement will be the requirement to assist in the completion of the 2 year old progress check.
