Helping Children Become Confident Learners

When very young children first enter school, more than anything else they need to feel happy, safe and among friends. Then they learn easily and rapidly — often without even realising they are learning!

Jasmine Court Nursery provides a caring, cheerful and well-resourced environment for three-year-old boys and girls. Through a careful balance of teacher-directed and child-initiated play, children acquire simple but essential learning and social skills.

Children move through Nursery, LKG and UKG without the burden of heavy school bags. It is only in Class I that they begin the National Curriculum. We firmly believe that language, literacy and numeracy skills form the bedrock of successful learning. Children are taught to speak clearly and listen well — skills that support learning and encourage the considerate behaviour we value so highly. We reward kindness, politeness, honesty and helpfulness. At SASA, nonsense is never mistaken for confidence.

Our approach works. Most children progress rapidly and perform significantly above national norms. By the age of seven they leave Jasmine Court as confident, happy individuals with a clear sense of right and wrong and a genuine eagerness to learn and achieve more.

Jasmine Court is also exceptional for its range of extra-curricular activities. We offer around twenty clubs every week, including football, basketball and yoga. We are always happy to consider new activities if children request them. Learning is not confined to classrooms — children are regularly taken outdoors to experience nature, understand natural phenomena and connect with the world around them.

Indoors or Out — Learning is Fun

Young children love to extend their imagination and creativity. Jasmine Court gives them every opportunity to do so through art, craft, music, dance and drama — some activities gently guided, others free and exploratory.

Outside is where children play best, preferably with friends and a teacher nearby. That is why we place strong emphasis on outdoor learning rooted in play and enjoyment. Children visit the river banks, canals and nearby historical sites. We are developing a botanical garden with nesting spaces for local birds so that the natural world becomes a living part of their everyday experience.

We encourage children to observe and talk about buildings, animals, transport and the wider world. Physical Education is introduced gently through games that develop coordination and confidence. Expert supervision ensures children feel safe while being appropriately challenged to improve balance, control and dexterity.

Jasmine Court follows its own curriculum and celebrates a special Sports Week each year. Alongside sports and games, children take part in competitions celebrating local culture, folk songs and traditions from the region, the nation and around the world.

Safe and Secure

The emotional wellbeing and physical safety of young children has always been of the highest importance at Jasmine Court. We have comprehensive safety and security measures in place, supported by rigorous staff training that ensures constant vigilance.

All procedures are reviewed regularly to maintain regulatory compliance and to incorporate improvements suggested by staff, parents and sometimes by the children themselves.

Young children need above all to feel happy and secure. Our experienced staff are skilled at noticing even the smallest signs that a child may need emotional support — and they act promptly and sensitively.
