The curriculum
All our rooms follow the Bright Stars curriculum,
Here at Bright Stars we also follow our own curriculum throughout the year. This is adapted to each room, age and stage and ensures children are given the best opportunities to grow and progress whilst in our care. We have spent time creating a holistic curriculum that allows sequential growth throughout the different rooms, our aspirations for each room is clear and the goals are worked towards during our little stars time in the different rooms. Our Bright Stars curriculum covers lots of different areas that we feel are important to the setting and the area around us. At the top of the Bright Stars curriculum is our Ethos of family, home and love. We then surround this with our learning journey, different topics that we set, our WellComm assessments as well as ensuring we implement cultural capital throughout. We also want to provide a calming environment for our little stars via the curiosity approach vision as well as areas to support mental wellbeing of our children and staff.
