Lorna Wigley, M.A.Ed., head of Quality and Training, Childbase Partnership
One of the only positives to come out of the pandemic was the time it provided us to start early on the process of changing our curriculum and looking at the best ways to embed it and ensure our frontline colleagues were confident in delivering it.
At Childbase, we wrote our own bespoke curriculum, moving away from the non-statutory Development Matters or the Birth to Five framework. The curriculum is the heart of everything we do. We set the pathway for the children to learn. The thinking is undertaken before children arrive at nursery – we plan ahead for what children need to learn (developmental milestones) and how we are going to support them in doing this through their individual interests and teachable moments throughout the day.
