These seven key areas of learning are divided into two broad categories: prime areas of learning and specific areas of learning. Initially, the nursery focuses on building prime areas of learning to a satisfactory level. Afterwards, teachers start building students' skills in specific areas of learning. The prime areas of learning are:

• Communication and Language
• Social, Emotional and Personal Development
• Physical Development

The specific areas of learning are:

• Numeracy
• Literacy
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

The aforementioned seven key areas of learning are used by teachers to plan activities and events. Teachers ensure that the planned activities meet the academic and non-academic needs of children. The nursery complements the educational programme with its nurturing and warm environment. The learning environment at British Berries Nursery is based on the fact that each child is a curious individual who seeks relationships with others and develops an understanding of the world through active engagement and experiences.
