Hadleigh Parkside Pre-school's

CURRICULUM

Here are Hadleigh Parkside Pre-school we believe that the children are the curriculum. Curriculum might sound like a big word for little people, but here at Parkside, we like to frame our days with purpose and objectives shaped by the children’s interests.

The children guide our teaching and how we support them to grow and blossom into the best versions of themselves. We do this by establishing close and meaningful relationships with each child, that enable us to extend their interests and learning opportunities in our daily provision.

We have a curriculum that is designed to complement their needs, abilities and interests, ensuring that when they leave Pre-school they are ready to move onto the next part of their learning journey, having the fundamental skills which will support them in the future.

Documents we work with are: Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework and Development Matters.

The child is our curriculum

Our aim at Parkside Pre-school is for every child to leave us with a curious mind and a love for learning, with the confidence to be independent and explore their environment. We want every child to be nurtured in their learning to reach their full potential by offering a safe language-enriched environment through our book curriculum and phonics programme.

We are passionate about offering an ambitious curriculum with the child at its very heart, one that follows the children’s interests and builds on what they know. We aim to offer a range of enriched learning opportunities with our seven curriculum enrichments that show our intent, implementation and impact.

We aim for parents and carers to feel they are the centre of their child’s learning journey and leave us feeling supported and confident that their child will flourish when they begin their next chapter.

Physical enrichment

Our aim is to help children lead healthy, happy, and active lives by teaching them self-care, independence, and lifelong skills. Through positive relationships with food, oral hygiene education, and diverse physical experiences—from early milestones to school readiness—we nurture their fine and gross motor skills, confidence, and physical development.
