Our curriculum allows children to play, explore, be active learners and develop critical thinking. Activities are based on EYFS teaching practices, Forest School and Reggio Emilia, meaning we use more natural resources and fewer plastic toys.

Natural Learning Resources

What makes Chestnut Avenue great?

Here at Chestnut Avenue (based in Forest Gate, East London) our activities are based around the teaching practices set out in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS, 2017) curriculum. We cover each of the seven areas of learning - this allows our children to access a wide range of activities that aren’t always possible at home.

 

We have recently introduced a core curriculum that takes influences from a variety of Early Education Pedagogies, for example Forest School and Reggio Emilia, as we are creating a nursery that is using more natural resources, allowing our learning environments to have natural light and using fewer plastic toys. Our curriculum and philosophy weaves into the EYFS as it allows our children to play and explore, be active learners and develop critical thinking.

All my teaching experiences have revolved around fostering a supportive and inclusive learning environment where every child feels valued and motivated to excel. As a dedicated educator, I am driven by the belief that education has the power to transform lives and shape a brighter future.

What families have to say

My toddler has been attending the nursery and he absolutely loves it. His key workers are so warm and lovely and I’ve felt confident leaving him there knowing that he’s going to have a fun day and be happy and stimulated by the end of it.
