Education Process – How Children Learn and Grow at Nottingham Nursery School

When you think about a child's first steps into learning, you picture bright rooms, curious hands, and teachers who know how to turn a question into an adventure. That's exactly what we call the education process – the way we help kids move from discovery to understanding, day by day.

At Nottingham Nursery School our education process blends play with purpose. We start each day with a simple routine that gives children a sense of safety and a clear expectation of what comes next. That routine lets them focus on the activities that follow without feeling lost.

What Makes a Good Education Process?

A solid education process has three key parts: engagement, guidance, and reflection. Engagement means giving children materials that spark interest – think blocks, storybooks, or a garden patch. Guidance is the teacher’s role in asking the right questions, modeling how to solve a problem, and showing respect for each child’s ideas. Reflection lets kids talk about what they did, why it mattered, and what they might try next time.

For example, during a simple science activity we let toddlers explore water flow with funnels. First, we watch them play (engagement). Then we ask, "What happens when you tilt the funnel?" and help them experiment (guidance). Finally, we gather around and share observations, encouraging each child to say one thing they learned (reflection). This loop repeats across all subjects, turning everyday moments into learning milestones.

Another important piece is consistency. Repeating certain patterns – like a weekly music circle or a daily storytime – builds confidence. Kids know what to expect and can focus on mastering new skills instead of figuring out the schedule.
