British Orchard Nursery follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) education framework. It is a British curriculum for early childhood education that focuses on developing foundational skills among children through fun and play activities. Children greatly benefit from unstructured learning as they are inquisitive and like to explore the world around them. The nursery curriculum offers a holistic learning experience to children by incorporating languages such as Mandarin, English, Arabic and French. The curriculum also allows children to participate in extracurricular activities like football, Zumba, music, yoga, etc.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework focuses on children's development through seven key areas of learning, which are:

Communication and Language

This learning area focuses on building children’s understanding, speaking, listening and attention skills. The nursery develops the aforementioned skills through rhythm, rhymes, messy plays, shows, group and small world play activities.

Mathematics

This learning area develops children’s understanding of numbers, shape, space and measure. Numeracy skills are developed among children through water play, cooking, puzzles and sequencing activities.

Personal, Emotional and Social Development

Personal, emotional and social development as the key learning area focuses on developing a positive sense and respect for themselves and others. It helps children learn social skills and a positive attitude to learning.

Literacy

Literacy, as the key learning area, helps children to read and write. The nursery works on children's literacy skills through stories, mark-making, letter of the week and book of the month.

Understanding the World

Understanding the World is the specific area of learning that helps children understand the world, people and technology around them. The activities that support children in this area of knowledge include but are not limited to small-world play, computer play, science experiments, music, celebrating festivals and visiting the local community.

Physical Development

Physical development is one of the essential prime areas of learning that focuses on developing students' coordination, fine motor and gross motor skills. The activities in this learning area include an obstacle course, mark-making, garden games (spatial awareness), threading and self-care activities.

Expressive Arts and Design

For assessments, British Orchard Nursery uses baseline and Age and Stage Questionnaire (ASQ-3) for assessments. Every child at BON, from toddler to FS2, has baseline assessments with 680 assessment goals. These goals are by the EYFS framework and BON's 3-year rolling plan. The baseline ensures that each child reaches its full potential. In contrast, ASQ-3 pinpoints the development of children aged one month to five and a half years old.
