Here are St. Luke's we believe that all children should be able to develop their potential at their own pace.

Our Key Worker system enables us to ensure a planned curriculum tailored to the needs of each individual child.

Through appropriate play activities and a high level of adult input, we offer a curriculum which leads to nationally approved Early Learning Goals and prepares children to progress with confidence to foundation stage 2.

We are fully committed to the Sheffield Kitemark quality assurance scheme

• A range of equipment and opportunities, both indoors and out, allows children to develop confidence and enjoyment in the use and development of their own bodily skills.

• A well stocked book corner gives every child the opportunity and encouragement to become familiar with books, able to handle them and become aware of their uses, both for reference and as a source of stories and pictures.

• A safe and stimulating environment allows children to explore and experiment with a range of natural and manufactured materials.

• A range of safe and well maintained equipment enables children to extend their technological understanding using simple tools and techniques as appropriate to achieve their intentions and to solve problems.

• Songs, games and picture books help children to become aware of number sequences, and, when they are ready, to use simple mathematical operations such as adding.

• Art equipment including paint, glue and pencils, as well as natural and discarded resources, provide for open ended exploration of colour, shape and texture and the development of skills in painting, drawing and collage.
