SOUL Nursery CurriculumWe offer a child centred curriculum focusing on children's individual strengths and highlighting areas to develop. Using the EYFS we have carefully created some achievable learning outcomes, based on the child's age, for them to achieve before moving on to the next step in their Early Years journey. We will support the children every step of the way and show them the love of God in all that we do.
