British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Our learning framework is guided by the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), ensuring a well-rounded and child-centred early education.
The EYFS focuses on key areas of development, including:
  • Communication and language
  • Physical development
  • Personal, social, and emotional development
  • Expressive arts and creativity
  • Early literacy and numeracy foundations
By combining the structure of the EYFS with Reggio Emilia principles, we offer a balanced approach that nurtures the whole child.
We support children at every stage of learning from 2 months to 4 years.

We Empower our Educators to nuture Growth for Your Child

At Acorn Nursery, we believe that great teachers shape great learners. Our team recently participated in the International Study Group Conference in Reggio Emilia, Italy—receiving in-depth training from the world’s leading experts in early childhood education. This immersive experience sharpened our skills in creating responsive, child-led environments that value curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.
This training directly impacts your child’s experience at Acorn. From enhanced classroom settings to more thoughtful engagement strategies, our educators are now even better equipped to support each child’s growth, confidence, and love for learning.

Staff Training at the International Study Group Conference – Italy

  • Staff trained at the heart of the Reggio Emilia approach
  • Exposure to best global practices in early childhood education
  • First-hand insights from Remida and innovative learning spaces
  • Bringing international expertise into our classrooms

We Celebrate Every Child’s Journey — Together

At Acorn Nursery, our End of Term Party wasn’t just a celebration—it was a powerful reflection of the growth, creativity, and individuality of every child.
This special day gave our young learners a moment to shine, as they proudly showcased their artwork, shared their learning journeys, and displayed the projects, stories, and experiences that have shaped their term. Every wall, every corner, and every smile told a story of curiosity explored, friendships formed, and milestones achieved.
We were delighted to welcome families into our space, where they could truly see their child’s voice, effort, and imagination come to life.
Highlights from Our End of Term Celebration
  • 🖼 Children-led displays of artwork and learning portfolios
  • 🎤 Reflections and stories shared by our young learners
  • 🎨 Hands-on exhibits showing creativity, confidence, and progress
  • 🎈 A festive, warm gathering of families, teachers, and children
At Acorn, we honour the process—not just the outcome. This celebration reminded us that the smallest steps often carry the biggest meaning. Here’s to every child’s journey—and the joy of walking it together.
Our Philosophy

Reggio Emilia Inspired Approach

The Reggio Approach is not a recipe, it doesn’t tell you what to do. Rather, it’s an educational approach rooted in Reggio Emilia, one that asks you to be respectful and mindful of your context and community…” — Tiziana Filippini, Pedagogista
Our Reggio Emilia inspired approach nurtures children through child-led, inquiry-based learning, fostering creativity and curiosity. It values each child’s unique capabilities and encourages exploration and self-expression in a supportive environment.
By combining elements of the EYFS framework with the principles of the Reggio Emilia approach, we create a nurturing and stimulating nursery environment that supports holistic development, particularly in the early years. Flexibility, creativity, and deep respect for children’s interests guide our planning and practice.

Learning Through Play

Learning through play allows children to learn through first-hand experiences that capture their imagination.
While children may feel they are “just playing,” this play is purposeful, structured, and thoughtfully planned by educators to support development, problem-solving, communication, and creativity.
