At Our Day Nursery, we believe that every child is unique, curious, and full of potential. To support each child’s individual journey, we draw on a range of thoughtfully chosen approaches that shape the way we care for, teach, and inspire our children every day.

We’ve created Our Approach Cards to give you an insight into the philosophies and practices that guide our work. Each Approach Card explains one of the approaches we use — from emotional regulation and sensory experiences to storytelling, play schemas, and the Curiosity Approach.

These summaries are designed to help you understand how and why we do what we do, and how our teaching methods nurture children’s wellbeing, creativity, and love of learning.

Together, these approaches form the foundation of our nursery’s ethos — creating an environment where children feel safe, valued, and inspired to explore the world around them.
