OUR MISSION

OUR CURRICULUM STATEMENT

Intent
At Bumbles, we recognise that all children are at different points on the same path to building knowledge to equip the for their future lives. Therefore, we begin by getting to know the child through all about me forms, home visits and conversations with parents. We then plan our curriculum to meet the needs of the children in our care. This enables us to decide on the resources we use to create an enabling learning environment. We follow an ‘in the moment planning’ approach alongside the EYFS framework which allows us to tailor our teaching to meet children’s interests, allowing them to flourish.

Implementation
Our highly skilled practitioners make choices on how to deliver the curriculum based on the needs of the children, underpinned by the characteristics of Effective Learning. We encourage children to be leaders in their own learning and we ensure their voice is heard by following their interests to create a child -centred approach. We use a range of open-ended resources to facilitate teaching and learning alongside creating opportunities for children outside of their daily experiences. It is these experiences and resources that give children the vocabulary and confidence to prepare them for their future.

Impact
We assess the impact of our curriculum by regularly reflecting on our practice. This can lead to adapting our teaching style, changing areas of provision, providing action plans and continuing our professional development. Our planning is evaluated weekly to support these adaptations within teaching and learning and any gaps in children’s learning are planned for. In addition to ongoing assessment, we assess children termly and identify areas for improvement. This then allows us to close the gap by supporting children’s development through being responsive and acting promptly. 






The Definition of Teaching...

"Teaching should not be taken to imply a "top down" or formal way of working. It is a broad term which covers the many different ways in which adults help young children learn. It includes their interactions with children during planned and child-initiated play and activities: communicating and modelling language, showing, explaining, demonstrating, exploring ideas, encouraging, questioning, recalling, providing a narrative for what they are doing, facilitating and setting challenges."

‘It takes account of the equipment adults provide and the attention given to the physical environment, as well as the structure and routines of the day that establish expectations. Integral to teaching is how practitioners assess what children know, understand and can do, as well as taking account of their interests and dispositions to learn (characteristics of effective learning), and how practitioners use this information to plan children’s next steps in learning and monitor their progress.’

Meet Our Team

Danielle Moy

Managing Director

BA Hons in Primary Education & 
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

Danielle has joint ownership of Bumbles, alongside her sister Linzi. Danielle qualified as a teacher in 2013 and worked at a Primary School in Leeds until October 2017 when Bumbles opened. 

Danielle has a vast amount of experience, particularly with children aged 4-8 years and is a parent herself. Danielle has previously led Phonics and has incredible knowledge, not only in teaching children how to read and recognise sounds, but allowing them to have fun whilst doing so. 

Danielle is particularly recognised for her strong partnerships with parents and her ability to include them in their child's learning and development.

Due to her previous experience, Danielle's ability to prepare children for school will be of great benefit to the children, particularly in Sunflowers (3-5 years).

James & Tracy


James & Tracy are the owners of the building in which Bumbles is situated and are the amazing parents of Linzi & Danielle. James & Tracy have encouraged and supported the decision to open Bumbles from the very beginning, allowing the dream to become a reality.
 
James could see the full potential of the building and prioritised the renovation over his own company, ensuring the building works were finished to a very high standard.

Working in a primary school for over 20 years, Tracy has gained a vast amount of knowledge and understanding of children at primary school age. Leaving her colleagues and the children after such a long time, was a very difficult and brave decision. One we are extremely happy she made.

BA Hons in Early Childhood Studies & Early Years Professional Status (EYPS)

Linzi has joint ownership of Bumbles and manages the setting alongside her sister Danielle. Linzi has worked in childcare since the age of 17, gaining years of experience working with children aged 0-12 years.
