LEARNING THROUGH PLAY – AND WHY IT WORKS
In our classrooms, play is thoughtfully planned to promote exploration, problem-solving, and creativity, while also providing the structure children need to succeed. Alongside rich play experiences, we also teach key skills explicitly, ensuring children are well-prepared for the next stage of their education.
At Bloomsbury, children:
Develop language, communication, and confidence through role play, storytelling, and conversation
Build early literacy through a systematic phonics programme, helping them to become confident readers and writers
Explore early mathematics through hands-on problem-solving, pattern-making, counting, and reasoning
Express themselves through art, music, movement, and imaginative play
Grow in independence and resilience, developing the qualities of lifelong learners.
Our teachers design experiences that are joyful, purposeful, and carefully tailored to each child’s stage of development. By combining play with structured teaching, we ensure that every child is supported, challenged, and inspired to achieve their very best.
