The move follows a successful pilot of the 'Bright Beginnings' curriculum in some of its nurseries in England.

The revised EYFS, which comes into force in September, and Ofsted, have put more emphasis on nurseries designing their own curricula.

Bright Horizons said that its curriculum is aligned to the revised EYFS prime and specific areas of learning and development, as well as adhering to the statutory safeguarding and welfare requirements.

Thirty-one nurseries took part in the pilot, launched last October. The curriculum will be expanded to the rest of the group's settings in England by September. 

Bright Horizons said its curriculum ‘is designed to acknowledge the individual voice and needs of each child to promote confidence, wellbeing and a genuine love for learning.’
