Curriculum
At Mayo Kindergarten we provide nursery education and are registered under Cumbria LEA's Early Years Development Plan.
We maintain a staff to child ratio of 1:4 for children of 2 years of age and 1:8 for children of 3 years of age, which complies with OFSTED standards.
During each session a child will remain under the supervision of the same member of staff.
We provide a planned curriculum build around the 'Early Learning Goals' as set out in the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage. However, we also provide for 'child led' activities, allowing sessions to be guided by the childrens' interests and questions.
