Our Approach
Our child-centric approach promotes the development, uniqueness and confidence of every child whilst delivering the highest standards of care. We want every child at Maple Bloom to have fun and enjoy growing up.
Our approach is to let the children inspire us with the learning activities led by their imagination. We feel this approach bears fruitful learning outcomes as it has been derived from their interest.

Our
Curriculum
At Maple Bloom our curriculum will be focused around the British EYFS, which is the national framework in England for the care and education of babies up to reception age.
​
The EYFS is made up of seven areas of learning and development that are categorised as prime areas and specific areas. The three prime areas is what children mostly develop first and is essential for future learning. As the child grows, the learning from the prime areas is then applied and reinforced by four specific areas. The seven areas are as follows,
Prime Areas -
​
1. Communication and language
2. Physical development
3. Personal, emotional and social development
​
Specific Areas -
​
4. Mathematics
5. Literacy
6. Expressive arts and design
7. Understanding the world
You can learn more about the EYFS and what to expect by clicking on the below guides.
