The hackney care for kids nurture pathway
Safety & Trust
Children flourish when they feel safe. We prioritise emotional and physical security through caring relationships, and clear communication with families.
Partnership With Families
Families are at the heart of everything we do. We offer open communication and practical support, working together to build the strongest foundation for every child.
Wellbeing & School Readiness
Through joyful play, curiosity and gentle guidance, we help children develop confidence and independence, ensuring they are ready for their next step into school.
Inclusive Care & Individual Growth
Every child is celebrated for who they are. We embrace diversity and tailor our care to each child’s unique needs, helping them feel valued and included.
Our Learning Approach
Nurturing Start to Learning
Children learn best when secure and supported. Our warm, home-from-home nursery combines EYFS and the Nurture Pathway, fostering confidence, curiosity, emotional wellbeing, and readiness to explore.
Learning Through Play
Play is central to learning at HCK. Children develop social, communication, problem-solving, and independence skills through sensory, imaginative, and hands-on activities tailored to each age group.
Nurture Pathway Practice
The Nurture Pathway ensures children feel safe, valued, and included. It supports emotional development, resilience, trusting relationships, and confident engagement with new experiences and challenges.
Individualised Support
Key Workers observe and respond to each child’s needs and interests, providing personalised guidance, meaningful learning, and consistent relationships that motivate and support development effectively.
Inspiring Learning Environments
Calm, inviting spaces and open-ended resources encourage children to explore freely, make choices and immerse themselves in purposeful play that supports creativity and independence.
EYFS in Practice
We deliver EYFS learning through real experiences, supporting communication, physical skills, emotional understanding, early literacy, numeracy, arts, and exploration in an engaging, natural, and play-based way.
