Extra Curricular Activities
All of the children that come to our Nursery, as well as having the benefit of a Montessori curriculum, also have access to daily extra-curricular activities.
Extra curricular activities have been proven to boost young children's confidence and to provide them with new skills and abilities, while taking on challenges of new and different experiences.
Above all, they offer an important space to have fun and spend some time outside of the classroom for all of the children!
Every week our children participate in a variety of extra-curricular sessions, including Music, Dance, Football, Languages, Soft Play & Forest School.
Music
Music encompasses all areas of child development and skills for school readiness, including cognitive, social-emotional, motor and language development.
It helps co-ordination of the body and mind working together, and also encourages their language development, as well as being a lot of fun!
Football
Playing football helps to build gross motor skills, co-ordination, and physical confidence while encouraging team work, communication and emotional resiliiance. It also promotes spatial awareness, and a love for play - laying the foundation for a healthy lifestyle from an early age.
Dance
Dance is a joyful and expressive way for young children to develop key skills. It supports physical development by improving balance, co-ordination and strength, while also encouraging creativity, rhythm, and body awareness. Through dance children build confidence, learn how to follow instructions, and explore emotions - all while having fun and staying active in a positive, supportive environment.
Spanish
Learning another language in early years is a thrilling adventure that greatly benefits children! It enhances cognitive development, sharpens problem solving skills, and fosters communication and cultural awareness. Bilingualism boosts academic performance and opens up exciting opportunities.
Forest School
Forest School offers the children a chance to explore, discover, and learn in the great outdoors. Through hands-on experience children develop confidence, independence and resilience, while building a connection with nature.
