Our Curriculum
At Grace & Giggles we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, blending it with Montessori-inspired principles to support every child’s unique journey from 0 to 5.
Communication & language
We build vocabulary, listening skills and confidence through stories, songs, conversations and role play.
Physical development
From fine motor skills with puzzles and mark-making to outdoor climbing and dance, we help children grow strong and coordinated.
Personal, social & emotional development
Children learn to share, manage feelings, build friendships and feel secure in a nurturing environment.
Literacy
Daily story time, rhymes and early phonics lay the foundations for a lifelong love of reading and writing.
Mathematics
We explore numbers, shapes, patterns and problem-solving through playful, hands-on activities and everyday experiences.
Understanding the world
Children investigate nature, technology, communities and cultures, encouraging curiosity about the world around them.
Expressive arts & design
Music, art, movement and imaginative play give every child the freedom to express themselves creatively.
How children learn
We nurture the three characteristics of effective teaching and learning:
- Playing and exploring — investigating and experiencing things
- Active learning — concentrating, persevering and enjoying achievements
- Creating and thinking critically — having their own ideas and making links
