We deliver a comprehensive, ambitious early years curriculum aligned to the EYFS Statutory Framework (2025). Our goal is for every child to become a confident, curious, resilient and independent learner.

Our Approach:

Our curriculum combines:

• High-quality play experiences
• Direct teaching
• Carefully planned interactions

Practitioners observe children closely, respond to their interests and needs, and skilfully extend learning through modelling, questioning and introducing new concepts.

Key Principles:

• Children learn best through meaningful, hands-on play enriched by adult guidance.
• Secure relationships and emotional wellbeing form the foundation for all learning.
• Communication, early language and vocabulary are prioritised throughout the day.
• Learning begins from each child’s unique starting point, with personalised next steps.
• We develop executive function skills (working memory, attention and self-regulation).
• We promote diversity, inclusion and cultural equity in our resources, stories and celebrations.
• Assessment supports learning and avoids unnecessary paperwork.

Curriculum Structure:

• Intent – Our ambitions for what children will know, do and experience.
