Learning & development

Rooted in the EYFS,
enriched with play

Our early years curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), the UK’s statutory framework for children from birth to five. We treat it as the starting point, not the finish line.

The framework

Understanding the EYFS

The EYFS sets the standards that all early years providers must meet. Our practitioners support every child across its seven areas of learning, adapting activities so each child can access them in a way that is meaningful to them.

Learning through play

Play is the cornerstone of early childhood development — a powerful tool that helps children make sense of the world. Each day is filled with purposeful, joyful play that inspires children to imagine, explore, create and solve problems in their own ways.

Children take part in child-led, adult-led and continuous provision play. Practitioners step in when needed, guiding and extending learning while promoting independence.
