Helping your child reach their potential…

Inspired heavily by the Reggio Emilia Approach to child development (and incorporating aspects of Montessori and Steiner teaching styles), Our Play Days offers a unique service and a personalised development program allowing your child to flourish based on exploration, repetition, and your child’s individual needs. I use music and singing as a learning tool. I am heavily influenced by nature and seasonality, and I often find ways of incorporating what we see and do outside into inside learning.

Unlike nursery and school settings, your child will not be restricted to the needs of other children in the room. I look at what your child is craving to learn and use their interests to increase their capacity to learn. Each day I plan activities based on each child’s personal interests, as well as introducing them to new ones. I focus on helping your child to be independent, creative, confidence, communicative, kind and helpful.

For each regular child in my care I prepare a personal learning strategy based strictly on the Early Years Foundation Stage and current curriculum requirements. I focus on your child’s specific skills (communication & language, physical personal, social & emotional, literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts & design). I can work in unison with their keyworker at nursery/school and other settings to increase development outside the classroom.

I can work in unison with your child's keyworker at nursery/school and other settings to increase development outside the classroom. I work closely with each child so they have necessary skills (and are emotional prepared for primary school, then harnessing skills during their junior school years so that they excel and are prepared for senior school. Parents are given daily and weekly updates, as well as a weekly newsletters.
