Curriculum and Development
At Vita Et Pax Nursery, we’re committed to providing each child with the strongest foundation for lifelong learning in a warm, supportive environment. Our experienced team fosters a sense of belonging, ensuring children feel safe, valued, and ready to thrive.
Our engaging curriculum blends adult-led guidance with child-initiated exploration, encouraging curiosity, confidence, and independence. In addition to early phonics and maths, children benefit from specialist-led sessions in P.E., Spanish, and Music, enriching their learning experience from the very start.Ready for Reception
At Vita Et Pax Nursery, we take great care in preparing each child for a confident and successful transition into Reception. Our approach focuses on nurturing the whole child, socially, emotionally, and academically, so that when the time comes, they feel ready, excited, and well-equipped for the next stage of their learning journey.
Through structured routines, independent learning opportunities, and a focus on key early skills such as phonics, early maths, and communication, children gradually build the confidence and resilience they need for school life. We also support their personal development by encouraging self-care, problem-solving, and positive relationships with peers and adults.
By the end of their time with us, children leave nursery not only with strong foundations in learning, but with a genuine love for it, ready to step into Reception with curiosity, confidence, and joy.
Nutrition and Healthy Meals
At Vita Et Pax Nursery, we believe that healthy bodies fuel healthy minds. That’s why we place a strong emphasis on nutrition, providing children with well-balanced, wholesome meals every day. Our menus are carefully planned to offer variety, encourage good eating habits, and introduce children to a wide range of tastes and textures.
All meals are freshly prepared on-site using high-quality ingredients, with a focus on seasonal produce and minimal added sugar or salt. From breakfast to afternoon snack, we ensure every child receives the nourishment they need to stay energised, focused, and ready to learn. Mealtimes are also an important part of our learning environment, children are encouraged to try new foods, develop independence, and enjoy sharing healthy meals together in a calm, social setting.
We cater to all dietary requirements and work closely with parents to support individual needs and preferences, ensuring every child feels included and cared for at the table.

Prep School
Moving into Key Stage 2, the children continue to be challenged by an exciting curriculum and are taught to become increasingly self-motivated learners. The children are encouraged to persevere, and two and three step word problems feature in Maths to challenge depth and mastery. Trips are customised around the curriculum to support and challenge learning and residential trips are planned further afield to enable children to take part in team activities and challenge them to take risks at participating in new activities.
