Welcome to Little Buds! We hope you love seeing the pictures of the room! We have made some changes since however, we want to show you all of our before and after pictures. As you may be able to notice it contains a lot of authentic resources this is because we have been inspired to carry out The Curiosity Approach at our setting. At our setting all of our children are given the power, time and space to learn and practice and embed new skills. Our children are given the opportunity to build confidence in their own abilities and to RESPECT each other. You may be wondering why we carry out The Curiosity Approach At Almozene Day Nursery.. These are a few reason why we are following the curiosity approach and why we believe this is an amazing way to support the children’s learning and development.. The Curiosity Approach use authentic resources or 'real items' such as ceramics and breakables in play!Moving away from the traditional plastic tea sets which get dropped and thrown or mindlessly discarded.Little care attention or respect is given to these 'pretend' items because there is no consequence.It doesn't matter if they get dropped, roughly handled or mistreated. NOTHING happens and nobody acknowledges if items get left on the floor or flung carelessly into the box or cupboard.We are left to wonder why children handle items with little care or consideration. Its because there is no consequence! IT DOESNT MATTER! Nothing happens!We need to empower children to take risks, to practice new skills and empower children to make decisions and learn to handle breakables whilst supported by confident educators.We need to teach children to be thoughtful, mindful, considerate and respectful and it starts with how children PLAYTo learn HOW to handle items with care and attention. To TRUST in their skills as capable confident learners.Check out The Curiosity approach website, if you would like to know more about it.
