Young Explorers - Goring | Ofsted Reports, Reviews (2025)

Children are seen as naturally curious, having their own interests and a desire to learn about the world and their position in it, according to the Reggio Emilia approach.
The method acknowledges that children learn and communicate their understanding in a variety of ways, including through the "hundred languages of children," which include dance, music, sculpting, and drawing.
Numerous locations in Italy and elsewhere have adopted the strategy since it was developed there. Since the child's interests are a key component of the method, no Reggio setting is the same as another. The environment reflects the kids' present interests and idylls.
The method places a lot of emphasis on social interaction, values kids' opinions, and gives them the time and freedom to explore in order to gain a deeper knowledge. Children are taught to use language to study, explore, and reflect on their experiences, which is another important aspect of communication. Learning is a collaborative activity that is carried out in groups.
The adults' job is to study kids, pay attention to their inquiries, figure out what interests them, and then give them chances to do more exploring.
By using tools like photographs and transcripts of the children's speech while actively learning, the staff at Young Explorers Goring play a crucial part in recording and showing the children's ideas and making the process of their learning apparent.
With the knowledge that children are capable and benefit from natural and real materials, careful consideration of the environment is necessary in order to give children the chance to engage in meaningful learning experiences.
The location and ease of access to the neighbourhood beach will be a fantastic asset for the kids at Young Explorers Goring in terms of their learning opportunities.
