Curriculum planning for nurseries
Your curriculum,
clear enough to explain to anyone
Most settings have a curriculum. Fewer can explain it to a new member of staff, a parent or an inspector. Otii helps you write down how your setting actually works and keep it live.

What curriculum planning for nurseries looks like in Otii.
Most managers can talk about their curriculum for an hour. It’s in their head, and it’s good. Then a new member of staff starts, or a parent asks how you teach early maths, or an inspector says “tell me about your intent”.
In Otii,
you write down your intent, implementation and impact for each area of learning, in your own words. It lives in one place your whole team can open, so new staff can see how your setting does things from their first week, and you can show it when someone asks.
Otii doesn’t write your curriculum for you.
Your team knows your children, so the decisions stay with you. Otii gives you a clear place to keep it, so it doesn’t go stale in a drawer.
