Our Approach to the EYFS

Natural Nurture offers play-based, child-led learning, where children become absorbed, motivated and active.

Children are able to take risks/challenge themselves under the watchful eye of a talented staff team that understand when and how to interact.

We understand that when children practice it is to get better, no matter what their skill level. Instilling trust at Natural Nurture is to encourage challenges and then praise efforts.

At Natural Nurture we value childhood, every little experience, from puddles and mud, to trees, animals and tractors.

The children are given opportunities to develop their communication, confidence, resilience, imagination and problem solving skills through interacting with the multi-sensory environment of the farm.

We teach and then trust children to learn how best to take and manage risks, co-operate together, negotiate and compromise and we, the staff, then become observers and commentators, allowing children to persevere through their challenges without interfering in that learning.

Each child is an individual, with differing abilities, strengths and needs, our forms of communication and encouragement are differentiated to meet individuality.

We listen to children’s ideas, show interest in their methods and implementations and offer suggestions

We give children the time to meet their own challenges and develop what they are doing in depth
