The Early Years
The Early Years
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum, which sets the standards for learning, development, and care for children from birth to five years old. Through a balance of play-based and structured activities, we support each child’s growth across key areas, including communication, physical development, and personal, social, and emotional well-being. Our nurturing environment ensures that every child feels safe, confident, and inspired to explore, laying a strong foundation for their future learning journey.
Extra Curricular Activities
At Lanterns Arts & Educational Nursery, we believe in hands-on learning, which is why we offer exciting weekly cooking workshops for children aged 2-5 years. As part of our extra-curricular activities, these fun and interactive sessions help little ones explore new ingredients, develop fine motor skills, and learn about healthy eating in a safe and engaging environment. From mixing and measuring to tasting their delicious creations, our cooking workshops spark curiosity and creativity while building confidence in the kitchen!
The Arts
We place a strong emphasis on learning through the arts, inspiring creativity and self-expression from an early age. With our very own art gallery and dance studio, all children from baby room to our pre-school class have the freedom to explore painting, junk modelling, music, dressing up and movement as part of their daily learning. Through these engaging experiences, they develop confidence, coordination, and communication skills while having fun in a vibrant and nurturing environment. We believe that creativity is key to a child’s development, and we provide endless opportunities for them to express their imagination!

Physical Education
We prioritise Physical Education to support children’s health, coordination, and confidence from an early age. With our very own outdoor garden and softplay room, children have daily opportunities to run, climb, explore, and develop their gross motor skills in a safe and engaging environment. Through fun, age-appropriate activities, we encourage an active lifestyle while helping little ones build strength, balance, and teamwork—laying the foundation for a lifelong love of movement and play.
