The Curiosity Approach
Promoting awe and wonder in early childhood

In February 2022 all our hard work paid off and we became a fully accredited 'The Curiosity Approach' setting!
We are the first pack away setting in Essex to gain to accreditation!
🎉✨ WE HAVE SOME VERY EXCITING NEWS TO SHARE! ✨🎉
We are absolutely delighted and incredibly proud to announce that Diddydots Nursery has achieved The Curiosity Approach® REACCREDITATION!
And that’s not all…
We have also successfully achieved the 5R’s Module!
This is something we are SO proud of because it represents the passion, commitment and hard work of our whole Diddydots team.
​
Our assessor, Chelsie, shared some incredibly kind words following our assessment:
“I would like to share my appreciation for the team’s hard work and communication at Diddydots Nursery in embedding meaningful changes.”
She also commented on the rich range of resources and opportunities we provide for our children — and was genuinely impressed that, despite being a pack-away setting, this has not limited the experiences we are able to offer.
​
In fact… we think or photo gallery say it all!

Children learning through doing, exploring and discovering
​
Being a pack-away nursery comes with its challenges. Every single day, our team creates an inspiring environment from scratch — and then packs it all away again!
But our children’s experiences, opportunities and learning are never packed away.
This accreditation recognises the commitment our team puts into creating a nurturing, curious and inspiring environment where children can wonder, investigate, create, experiment and learn through real experiences.
​
Diddydots Nursery — curious children, meaningful experiences, lifelong learning.
We aim to provide a natural environment for your little ones to explore and learn from - an extension of the home. We are stepping away from loud, colourful plastic toys and print outs so that the children can develop their skills in a more calm way based on their own interests and opinions.

Loose Parts
Loose parts are objects that can be used in a lot of different ways in a child's play. they can represent something completely different to what it actually is, they can be used to line up, build up and are always accessible to the children. They are great for imagination and creativity that provide endless opportunities for all sorts of skill learning.
We are always collecting them, (bottle tops, pine cones, pegs, washers, shells etc) so if you have any lying around feel free to bring them in for us!
