Curriculum
At Tiny Champs Nursery we follow the Birth to Five Matters Framework. This is a government framework that guides the learning at our nursery and ensures that the children make effective progress throughout the first five years of their lives.
The Birth to Five Matters Framework covers seven areas of learning which are categorised as prime and specific areas.
The three prime areas are:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language
The four specific areas are:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive Arts and Design
More information about the Birth to Five Matters Framework can be found here Birthto5Matters-download.pdf
As your child settles in with us at nursery their key person will observe and monitor them to understand their current developmental level. Once they feel confident that they know your child, they will complete a settling in assessment that will guide them with the areas they need to support your child with within their development. This information then enables the key person to plan personalised activities for your child that will help them to make further progress.
Twice a year, your child’s key person will complete a new assessment to ensure that you have up to date information around your child’s development and to guide them on the next areas of development that your child needs support within.
As your child makes progress your key person will share observations and pictures with you via Blossom, to show the journey they are making to achieve the developmental goals that have been set by your key person.
Extra Curricular
At Tiny Champs we value the knowledge that extracurricular activities can provide to your children. These activities support the children to build their confidence as they develop new skills and abilities.
On a Wednesday morning our pre-school and toddler children are visited by a local dance teacher who delivers an engaging and enriching dance session.
We also have a contract with Greenway Community Garden. On Monday mornings the children in our toddler and pre-school rooms take turns to visit our local community garden. The children enjoy participating in growing and caring for plants in the gardens dedicated growing area. After all that hard work they can then enjoy a play in the fun-filled activity area.
On a Thursday morning our babies and pre-toddlers are visited by Zip Zap who deliver music and sensory sessions to our children.
A Typical Day
A typical day at Tiny Champs Nursery begins with breakfast being served between 8-8:30am.
After breakfast, activity time begins, and the children can enjoy a range of activities both indoors and outdoors. These activities are planned by the children’s key people to ensure that they support them to make development through the curriculum.
During activity time children will also be taken on trips to places within the local area such as the Library, the Garden Centre, and local parks.
At 9:30am a fresh fruit-based snack is served, and the children can take turns to come and enjoy some delicious fruits.
Activity time continues throughout snack time to avoid unnecessary disruptions to the routine.
At 11:45am the children enjoy their two-course lunch. This is the main meal of the day and consists of a hot meal and a non-sweet, based pudding.

Fee’s for funded children
Under the Government scheme parents/carers are entitled to an annual free early education and childcare entitlement of 22.35hrs* per week over 51 weeks per annum, which equates to1140hrs per year. The setting is closed for a week over Christmas, during this time fees are calculated at our full daily rate, as government funding does not apply to weeks we are closed. These charges contribute towards covering the ongoing operational costs of the setting and staff during the closure period.
If you are a parent claiming funded hours, you have the option to opt out of being charged for this week. If you wish to opt out please speak with the nursery team in advance.
The setting operates Monday-Friday 8am-6pm, offering sessions of 10 hours of childcare per day on a year-round basis.
The setting offers places to children from 3 months old until the child reaches statutory school age.
Working parents/carers who want to just take up their free early education and childcare hours can do this and are able to take this up as 20 hours per week over 2 days of their choice (at 10 hrs per day between 8am and 6pm, subject to availability), alternative days will be offered where preferred days are not available (subject to availability).
Entitlement to a free place does not offer a guarantee of a place at any one provider. Parents/carers are therefore able to take up the remaining balance of their free early education entitlement (2 hours per week) with an alternative provider should they choose .
Parents/carers do not have to take up additional childcare hours in addition to the 20 hours of free early education and childcare hours offered per week but can request these should they want to.
