Summary
Young children have spent a short time on the earth therefore much about it is a mystery to them. In a world dominated by technology, it is amazing that we can still be mesmerised by something that is not on a screen; something as wonderous as a shiny spider’s web sparkling with dew upon a wet, Autumn morning. Our wonders will guide our adventures. We will seek out moments that wow and captivate children, causing their eyes to shine and their tongues to stick out in deep concentration.
As a part of the Thinking Schools Academy Trust, our ‘curiosity’ curriculum is planned by experienced teachers and practitioners who understand the next stage of education and are committed to laying the very best foundations during the early years for their all-through thinking journey.
We know that learning habits are vital for success. We support our children to learn about the world through cause and effect and by refining our questions to ensure children think in a clear and logical way. The theory behind Edward De Bono's Thinking hats is employed to encourage children to use their senses to state facts, solve problems independently and to recognise and respond to emotions.

Food and Hygiene
About
Our
Food
We take Eating seriously at Little Thinkers nurseries because we know that a nutritious diet supports a child’s healthy brain development. Eating well is closely linked to increased cognitive ability. We know as adults that hunger or discomfort can stop you experieencing things in the same way.
Our children are served their lunch at tables and are given serving dishes in the middle of the table so they can serve themselves the food. They sit in a collabaorative way so that they can be supported in the social act of eating with others.
