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.

The curriculum includes:
Prime Areas
  • Communication and Language
  • Physical Development
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
Specific Areas
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design
Language development is considered to be of great importance, and every opportunity is taken to improve language skills through other subjects. Writing, reading and number work will be introduced if, and when a child is ready.

An extensive range of art, craft and structured play equipment is available.
