Early Years Foundation Stage
Learning through Music
At Cuddly Bear we recognise the importance music plays in children’s development, including their listening, language, social and maths skills. We want to promote a lifelong love of music in our children. We are embedding music into our everyday provision, ensuring that children have access to high quality music sessions, a wide variety of musical instruments and working with music experts. We have partnered with Nicola Burke the creator of “Musical Development Matters” a wonderful music curriculum that compliments the EYFS.
Learning through Art
We are passionate about children learning through art at Cuddly Bear. This is something that you will see as soon as you walk through our doors. We are blessed to have a number of talented artists working in our team who continually inspire our children to use their creative and imaginative skills everyday. Learning through art allows children to develop their language, their imaginations, their understanding of the world around them and their gross and fine motor development. We create an environment where children can explore a wide variety of art including paint, sculpture, drawing, dramatic and expressive art.
Outdoor Learning
We love to learn outside at Cuddly Bear. Each day your child will have access to our outdoor space that will allow them to practise and develop their physical skills. We want our children to be inquisitive and curious about the natural world which is why we treat our garden as an “outdoor classroom” for the children to explore. We also take the children on regular trips and outings in the local area and the wider community including museums and parks.
