Curriculum

Children remain at the heart of our provision and planning at Mother Goose Corner, with their care and developmental needs forming the ‘what’ of our curriculum, and their passions and interests forming the ‘how’.

Having a simply child-led approach means we enjoy being able to take inspiration from a wide range of different teaching methods – from Montessori to the Curiosity Approach – in order to create a bespoke curriculum for the children in our care which reflects their individual and unique learning styles. Teams within the setting are consistently encouraged to modify their planning and teaching methods to ensure that how we support the children to learn effectively reflects our current cohort of children.

We believe children are natural and incredibly capable learners, who need hands-on and responsive adults to quickly identify and support their own individual learning styles for the very best of outcomes. We aim to provide the children with an engaging and enabling environment, as well as with practitioners who engage in activities with them, so that what the children learn comes about as a result attentive adults focussing on how the children learn just as importantly as what. Our setting ethos of ‘Curiosity, Kindness and Courage’ inspires all we do, and summarises our aspirations for the children’s achievements in the here and now as well as their lives beyond Nursery.

As a setting we follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, the revised Development Matters 2021, and the Characteristics of Effective Learning to plan for and effectively support each child’s individual and unique learning journey.

We are proud to record the children’s learning journeys on award-winning software iConnect which families can not only access at home, but also use as a tool themselves to support the two-way sharing of information between the setting and home for the very best of partnership working.

Funding & Fees

In addition to privately funded sessions, we also offer places under the funded 15- and 30-hour government schemes for two, three and four year olds.
Further to accepting fee payments via cash and bank transfer, we are also happy to accept all childcare vouchers and payments from the government Tax Free Childcare Scheme.
Nursery fees are payable monthly in advance, and are calculated using our half-daily, daily and weekly rates on a 51-week year. We have a small fees increase every year on 1st April to keep up with our increase in costs of running the Nursery, and so please do call us if you would like to ask about fees structure in place for the current financial year.

In an effort to work closely with our families and make life as straight-forward as possible, we strongly believe in fees without ‘hidden costs’. As such, we do not make any extra ‘ad-hoc’ charges for any of the many and varied extra-curricular activities we are proud to offer, and your monthly fees will be all inclusive.

For more information on fees, available sessions and our waiting list, please call us on (01480) 451874.
