Nursery School in Okehampton Education
Education
At Bambinos, our goal is to develop confident, independent and curious learners who are ready and excited for every stage of their learning journey.
Our approach to your child’s education
The world for our little learners is full of new experiences and adventures.
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which ensures that children at our nurseries receive high-quality education and support that promotes their overall well-being and school readiness.
The EYFS framework is structured around seven areas of learning and development, which are essential for children’s growth. These are divided into three prime areas -personal, social and emotional development, communication and language, and physical development – that lay the foundation for all further learning.
The four specific areas – literacy, mathematics, understanding the world, and expressive arts and design – build upon the prime areas, providing opportunities for children to develop specific skills and knowledge, thereby promoting a holistic approach to early childhood education.
Our skilled practitioners weave these areas into planned activities that appeal to children’s natural curiosity and build on their individual interests. They also exploit spontaneous, in-the-moment learning opportunities whenever they arise.

Creating a safe and inspiring environment
We believe that a child’s sense of security and belonging is the foundation of effective learning. From their very first day at Bambinos, our goal is to make every child feel safe, happy, and secure.
Our nursery spaces offer a wide range of carefully planned activities that spark curiosity to support learning through play, both indoors and outdoors. Our practitioners encourage children to explore new things, develop their independence, and build positive relationships.
By regularly monitoring each child’s progress, our practitioners create personalised plans that meet each child’s developmental needs, allowing them to develop at their own pace, supporting them emotionally and academically.
This approach empowers children to grow with confidence, preparing them for the next steps in their learning journey.
Building partnerships with parents and carers
Each child at Bambinos is assigned a key person who becomes the main point of contact for them and their parents/carers. This ensures continuity in care and development. Your child’s key person will greet you and your child daily, will provide updates on your child’s day and will be available to discuss any questions.
We also share regular insights, photos, and observations through the eyparent app, creating a transparent and collaborative experience between the nursery and home environments.
We actively encourage parents/carers to participate in stay-and-play sessions, special events, and termly reviews with their child’s key person.
For children aged two, we complete a progress check to assess development, which is shared with health professionals to create a holistic picture of each child’s growth, ensuring they receive the best support possible.
