When Greenfields originally opened its doors, the nursery was very much based on using the Montessori method of teaching. Outdoor play is a vital part of Greenfields philosophy,and the nursery is fortunate enough to have 3 safe and secure play areas. The children also benefit from access to our outdoor learning area, including a tree house and mud kitchen. During our last Ofsted visit we were delighted with their report. Ofsted said ‘The partnership with parents is outstanding. Children are very happy & flourish due to the exceptionally strong, open relationship between parents & staff.’ ‘Children develop very well, have lots of fun & learn within the caring environment of the nursery, as they enjoy the wide range of activities offered.’
However, over the years, Lesley and the team has recognised the need to adapt this technique to incorporate the modern day teaching expectations of a nursery school.They are constantly updating & adding to the curriculum ensuring a safe, stimulating & caring environment, where physical, emotional & social skills can all be developed.
