CBSE / NCERT context
What CBSE & NCERT expect at Nursery
CBSE does not prescribe a single official nursery list of chapters. Most CBSE schools follow NCERT’s ECCE guidance, focusing on play‑based goals rather than textbooks. Assessment is observation‑based; no formal tests are required at this stage in NCERT’s guidance.
Assessment that respects how children learn
Anecdotes, checklists, and work samples; child portfolios instead of tests.
Continuity across stages
A clear ladder from Nursery to the Preparatory Stage.

FAQs
What schools usually ask
What ages does nursery cover?
Typically 3+ years, prior to LKG and UKG, under the Foundational Stage.
Do we need printed textbooks?
NCERT recommends rich print exposure and curated materials over heavy textbooks. NatureNurture supplies lightweight readers, cards, and teacher‑made resources.
Can we align to NEP without changing our board?
Yes. NEP and NCF provide a common ECCE direction that boards can adopt. NatureNurture’s plans align regardless of board affiliation.
