COMMUNICATION & BELONGING
Finding their voice
Conversation, stories, friendship and attentive listening help children develop language and feel confident expressing themselves.
Curious minds.
Confident beginnings.
Our curriculum brings the Early Years Foundation Stage to life through warm relationships, purposeful play and experiences shaped around each child's interests, development and needs.

THE HEART OF LEARNINGChildren lead with curiosity.
Children lead with curiosity.
Educators guide with care.
Practitioners observe, listen and extend children's ideas. A question, a shared story or an everyday task can become an opportunity to practise language, develop confidence and discover something new.
Children are supported to explore at their own pace, while familiar adults provide the security and encouragement they need.
Three experiences. Many possibilities.
Rather than treating learning as a timetable of isolated activities, we connect it to the moments children experience throughout the nursery day.
DISCOVERY & UNDERSTANDING
Exploring the world
Outdoor investigation, gardening, practical life and thoughtful resources encourage curiosity, observation and problem-solving.
EXPRESSION & INDEPENDENCE
Making ideas their own
Art, imaginative play, movement and everyday choices develop coordination, creativity and growing independence.
More ways to discover what they love.
Alongside our core early years curriculum, children enjoy specialist enrichment and activities led by our own practitioners. Each experience offers new opportunities to build confidence, language, coordination, curiosity and independence.
Specialist enrichment
Our programme includes eurhythmics, French, karate and Playball. These experiences introduce children to rhythm and music, another language, movement, teamwork and new challenges in an age-appropriate way.
Led by our nursery team
Our practitioners also bring yoga, art, cooking, gardening and science into nursery life. From planting and observing changes to preparing food and exploring materials, these are purposeful opportunities for children to learn by doing.
Activities are adapted to children's interests, ages and individual needs; specific sessions may vary.
Everyday adventures. Wider horizons.
The world around us is an extension of our classroom. From seasonal outings and local parks to visits to neighbourhood shops, children discover how their community works through meaningful, first-hand experiences. These opportunities nurture independence, curiosity, communication and a growing sense of belonging.
SEASONAL DISCOVERIES
Learning through the seasons
Shared outings offer opportunities to explore nature, observe change and experience the wider community together.
EVERYDAY ADVENTURES
Discovering our neighbourhood
Visits to local shops build language, confidence and understanding through familiar, real-world experiences.
Inclusion you can see in practice.
At Brook Green, our SENCO and Key Persons work alongside families from the first signs that a child needs additional support. We use an assess, plan, do, review approach and work with local authority and NHS specialists where appropriate. Support does not have to wait for a diagnosis.
A REAL BROOK GREEN CASE STUDY
Leo's story: small steps, real progress.
Leo* joined us shortly after his second birthday. Communication and transitions were difficult, and he often moved quickly between activities. His Key Person stayed alongside him throughout two years of support, working with his family and specialists to develop practical, individual strategies.
We started with Leo's interests in numbers and letters, then introduced objects of reference, photographs, a choice board and predictable routines. Home and nursery used consistent approaches, and his targets were reviewed and adapted as he developed.
Over time, Leo began using photographs to request favourite toys, following routines with visual support, joining activities alongside other children and concentrating on a chosen activity for up to ten minutes. His needs remained significant, but these were meaningful steps towards participation, communication and confidence.
*Leo is a pseudonym. Some details have been changed or omitted to protect the child and family's privacy. This is one child's experience, not a promise of outcomes for others.
Our Brook Green environment has also benefited from accessibility and sensory improvements. Ofsted judged Inclusion Strong at Brook Green in February 2026. Read the official report ↗
