THE CURIOSITY APPROACH®

Be Curious, Have Fun, Make a Difference!

The Curiosity Approach is a modern approach to Early Childhood.

The founders describe it as ‘a beautiful recipe book of wonderful ingredients, carefully mixed together with experience, passion and a love of Early Childhood.

When you visit us, you will see that The Bruce Nursery may look different to what you might expect; there are no brightly coloured walls. Through the Curiosity Approach, we focus on keeping the environment as natural and neutral as possible, with wooden and natural objects and resources.

We believe that a brightly coloured environment is over stimulating for children, and through our research of the Curiosity Approach, there is evidence to support this.

Lyndsey Hellen (founder of the Curiosity Approach) says ‘Plastic all smells the same, feels the same and often comes in bright colours that over stimulate children. On the other hand, if you’re recycling and sourcing open-ended resources and natural materials, you’re bringing different elements, textures and smells. The sense of curiosity and wonder will come with it’.

At The Bruce Nursery, we believe that the Curiosity Approach will help your child develop:

‘Curiosity is the desire to learn. Babies are born learners, with a natural curiosity to figure out how the world works. Early Childhood Educators have a responsibility to give children the confidence to develop their own theories about our incredible world.’
