Little Learners Nursery & Preschool - LLNPS

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) British Curriculum
We use the curriculum as guidance for our setting.
We take the approach that every child is unique with special talents and abilities and individual learning style.The Montessori approach is used to compliment our teaching methods and enhance children's learning.

The Three Prime Areas:
These areas are particularly crucial for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and building their capacity to learn from relationships and thrive.

  • Physical Development e.g. Active learning, social skills, etc
    • Special Educational Needs(SEN).
    It describes the needs of a child who has a difficulty or disability which makes learning harder for them than for other children their age. Around the ages 1-5yrs children have SEN at some point during their school years and some through their entire school years.
    SEN can cover a broad range of needs that includes:
  • Physical development
  • Visual or hearing impairment
  • Difficulties with speech and language
  • Emotional and behavioural difficulties
  • Difficulties in thinking and understanding etc

    • At Little Learners we try to quickly and easily help most children to overcome the barriers arising from their special needs. A few children will need extra help, for some or all their time in education.

    As a school we recognise all the children under our care as individual therefore activities are planned to meet their individual needs by their teachers.
