Our Philosophy

Childcare at St Saviour’s

At St Saviour’s Pre-School and Nursery, our goal is to nurture happy, curious, and confident learners. We achieve this through a balanced approach that blends child-led play, free choice, and thoughtfully planned adult-led group activities.

Our curriculum is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, and we provide a rich, evolving environment that responds to the interests and needs of our children. Through carefully planned continuous provision, we offer a wide variety of activities that spark imagination, encourage exploration, and support every child’s unique learning journey.

Learning Through Play and Purpose

We understand that children learn best through play and hands-on experiences. Our setting ensures that all children engage with the full breadth of the EYFS curriculum, including areas they may not naturally gravitate towards. This helps to build confidence, broaden interests, and support well-rounded development.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) sets the standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to 5 years old. All Ofsted-registered early years providers, including preschools, nurseries, childminders, and school reception classes, follow this framework.

The EYFS is divided into seven areas of learning, with a strong emphasis on active learning, play, exploration, and critical thinking.
