Our EYFS-compliant curriculum focuses on prime and specific areas of development, including communication, physical skills, literacy, and mathematics. Children engage in play-based learning through treasure baskets, creative activities, and outdoor exploration. Individual interests guide planning, with transition programmes preparing children for school through structured observation and parental collaboration.

Outdoor activities are integrated into daily routines to promote motor skills, environmental awareness, and imaginative play under staff supervision.
