Starting primary school is a big milestone for every child — and at Mini Morgans Nursery, we know exactly how to prepare them for this next step. Our holistic early years approach supports social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development so your child is confident, curious, and ready to learn.
1. Strong Early Years Foundations Through EYFS Learning
Our curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, focusing on core learning areas such as:
- Language, communication & literacy
- Early numeracy & problem solving
- Personal, social and emotional development
This balanced learning — delivered through engaging play and adult‑led activities — builds the essential foundations children need for school success.
2. Confidence, Independence & Self‑Help Skills
Primary school life requires children to be confident and independent. At our nursery in Hertford, we encourage children to:
- Manage personal tasks like coats and mealtimes
- Express ideas and make choices
- Play cooperatively with peers
These skills help children feel ready to take on new routines and responsibilities when school begins.
3. Emotional Preparedness & Social Skills
Transitioning to school can feel overwhelming — but children who can manage their feelings, ask questions, and connect with others settle much more easily. We prioritise:
- Group activities that build teamwork
- Teacher encouragement of self‑expression
- Positive reinforcement and emotional coaching
Our nurturing team — introduced on our Meet the Team page — plays a key role in this process.
4. Smooth Transitions With Play‑Based Learning
Play is how children make sense of the world. At Mini Morgans, play isn’t just fun — it improves:
- Problem‑solving skills
- Language growth
- Creativity and imagination
These competencies mirror many of the activities children will encounter in Reception classes, making the transition to school feel familiar and reassuring.
5. Partnership With Parents & Schools
We work closely with families to share progress and strategies so children are supported at home and school. Our regular updates and observations give insight into your child’s learning journey — from first steps to school readiness.
6. What Parents Say
Our families often highlight how prepared and confident their children feel before starting school. See real stories on our Testimonials page.
