Our Approach to Learning

At KatieB Kids we have developed a bespoke curriculum that links our practice to our child centred ethos inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Throughout the nursery the way in which these areas of learning take place is influenced by age related expectations of young children and the key milestones that children are expected to achieve. It is a creative play-based curriculum that offers both adult directed and child-initiated activity. The enabling open plan environment at KatieB Kids is inspired by a uniquely developed ‘Let’s’ philosophy.

As a Reggio Emilia inspired setting, we understand and value that children have a hundred languages, a hundred ways of expressing themselves and that is why we developed our let’s curriculum as it provides the children with opportunity to express themselves in a variety of different ways. The let’s curriculum is broken down into six sections, each of which should tune in to a child’s unique talents, motivators and personalities.​

For the most successful education we need a child who wants to learn for no other reason than they want to learn! Because it is inspiring, because it is interesting, because it is FUN! 

Our children bake, design, make, create. They get messy, sing, read, paint and run. They jump, build, question, explore and relax. They have fun. They play. They learn.
