We deliver our learning through a balance of adult led and child-initiated activities, aiming to develop the children’s independence and make them intrinsically motivated to learn throughout their environment. We follow our ‘Tapestry Online Learning Journey’ curriculum. At Childerwood Nursery we believe every child, family and member of staff matters.
