Cultural Capital

The Early Years Foundation Stage plays an important part here, as strong foundations are built that will make a real difference to a child's future. At Brunel Nursery School, we believe that that Cultural Capital is about giving our children the best possible start to their early education and future success. It is our intention to provide a curriculum which enhances and broadens experiences and opportunities for all children, particularly for our most vulnerable young learners. Our curriculum is pitched so that it offers a range of experiences which engage, enthuse and enlighten. Our intention is to provide a culture of curiosity through magical moments: to widen horizons, tap into potential and instil ambition. 

Adults at Brunel Nursery School have a wealth of experience which translates intohigh-quality and effective interactions with children. This experience also enables staff to:

• forge strong relationships;
• work in partnership with other professionals for the benefit of the child and their parents/carers;
• work with parents and the wider community;
• meet children's needs, learning styles and interests;
• understand the individual and diverse ways that children develop and learn;
• apply their knowledge and understanding in order to actively support and extend children’s learning in and across all seven areas of learning.

We communicate with parents face to face regularly through our open door policy, termly Stay and Plays and showcase performances throughout the year. 

We will continually reflect on what we offer our young children to ensure that we remain focused in our ambition to give children the essential knowledge to be educated citizens and to open doors into worlds they didn't know existed.
