Mindfulness & Learning

A programme of stimulating activities and structured quiet time enables your child to engage with new ideas and principles. Nuffy Bear follows the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. This covers seven areas, divided into prime and specific. Personal, social and emotional development; Communication and language; Physical development; Literacy; Mathematics; Expressive arts and design and Understanding the world. All the activities available support one or more of these areas. From using building with blocks, counting pieces of fruit, drawing their friends or playing musical statues.

Happiness

Smiling faces at the end of the day are just one way to gauge your child’s wellbeing. During their time at nursery the staff ensure that your child is well settled, happy and engaged using the Leuven Scale. Nuffy Bear understands that as well as making new friends, it is important that your child forms strong bonds with nursery staff. 

Meditation

There are two 10 minute sessions throughout the day of meditation or quiet time. These provide a balance with the activities and can help children sleep better, reduce anxiety and improve their self-esteem.
