Little Cubs Academy Day Nursery and Preschool in Greenwich

Curriculum

At Little Cubs Greenwich, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. We use a child-led approach, providing opportunities for learning that are meaningful and engaging. Our practitioners observe and support each child’s development and adapt planning to reflect their individual interests and needs.

We value the importance of outdoor learning and ensure children spend time outside every day in our large garden, which is equipped with a range of resources for active and imaginative play.

Team

Our team is made up of highly qualified and experienced early years educators. Each member of staff is committed to providing the highest standard of care and education. We regularly attend training and development opportunities to stay up to date with best practices and ensure we are supporting children’s development in the most effective ways.

Parent Partnerships

We believe that strong relationships with parents are vital to a child’s development. We offer daily updates through our nursery app so parents can see what their children are learning and experiencing each day. We also host regular parent meetings and run a variety of family events and activities throughout the year, where parents are warmly invited to join us. We welcome feedback to ensure we’re providing the best possible care.
