About this resource
This comprehensive Nursery (2–3) Curriculum Map provides a clear overview of teaching and learning across the academic year, supporting children through their earliest experiences of nursery and laying strong foundations for future learning.
It outlines half-termly themes, big questions and lines of enquiry, alongside carefully planned learning opportunities across all areas of the EYFS. The curriculum is rooted in child development and focuses on meaningful experiences that nurture communication, curiosity, creativity, independence and a love of learning.
The map includes progression across the Prime and Specific Areas of Learning, ensuring children are given opportunities to build skills and knowledge through play, exploration and first-hand experiences. A strong emphasis is placed on developing communication and language, personal, social and emotional development, physical development and the Characteristics of Effective Learning, recognising these as the foundations for lifelong learning.
Enrichment opportunities are thoughtfully woven throughout the curriculum, including celebrations, visitors, outdoor exploration and real-life experiences that broaden children's understanding of the world. Carefully selected role play areas, high-quality texts and nursery rhymes support language development, imaginative play and early literacy in meaningful and engaging ways.
Planning is designed to be flexible and responsive, allowing practitioners to follow children's interests while maintaining clear curriculum intent. The curriculum also recognises the importance of schematic play, open-ended exploration and warm, responsive interactions in supporting the unique development of every child.
Perfect for Nursery practitioners working with 2–3-year-olds, this resource supports long-term planning, ensures curriculum coverage and provides a well-sequenced, developmentally appropriate curriculum that inspires curiosity, confidence and joyful learning.
