Taking the first steps in a child's educational journey

At The Villa Nursery, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment for children from the age of 2 years old. Our ethos is centered around fostering a love for learning and ensuring each child feels valued and supported. 

Curriculum

Our curriculum sparks curiosity, creativity and a love for discovery and learning.

We believe the foundation of lifelong learning is built in the Early Years. By providing a nurturing environment, we help children explore their world, develop essential social and cognitive skills and build confidence.

Balancing play-based learning with structured activities, our curriculum offers a holistic education that prepares children for future success. It covers all seven areas of learning from the Early Years Foundation Stage through a topic-based approach. This approach integrates Language, Maths, Art and Personal and Social Development, allowing children to make connections across different areas.

Topics are based on children’s interests and experiences, making learning more engaging. The flexible curriculum adapts to their emerging needs, featuring hands-on activities that foster problem-solving, creativity, empathy and collaboration. For instance, projects about ‘Our Community’ help children understand their world, work as a team and develop social skills. We also encourage family participation to strengthen the connection between home and nursery.

Extra Curricular

Enriching and expanding the children's learning journey.

Extra curricular activities provide well-rounded educational experiences, equipping the children with essential skills that will contribute to their overall learning in a fun and engaging way. ​In Music and Movement, children engage in interactive lessons with singing, instruments and dance, developing rhythm, coordination and motor skills. Physical Education sessions with Mr. Crossman promote fitness, coordination and teamwork, encouraging children to collaborate, develop empathy and work well with others. ​Dance classes introduce creative movements, self-expression and various dance styles including multicultural dances. Yoga sessions teach relaxation, flexibility and focus in a fun age-appropriate way. Early language exposure through songs, games and storytelling helps children explore and broaden their understanding and appreciation of different cultures. Additionally, children enjoy weekly French lessons with our native French teacher Madame Séverine.

Extended Care

Our Breakfast and Tea clubs offer children a nurturing home from home environment where children feel safe and well cared.
