Early Years
Our Early Years Unit is for children aged 2 to 5 years and offers a solid foundation for their school journey. Children learn through indoor and outdoor play-based activities focused on the curriculum’s ‘Prime Areas’. These activities develop their social, communication, and physical skills.
Other activities include music, nature walks, swimming, Physical Education, ICT, cooking, and Library visits. The specific areas of learning are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World, Expressive Arts, and Design. Teaching is often done through play, where the child learns about subjects and other people through games. We offer a holistic learning experience with a choice between indoor and outdoor areas.

Our Approach
Learning happens naturally through play, exploration, and discovery. When a child shows a ‘spark’ of interest, our teachers gently guide and extend this into a valuable learning moment with supportive interaction and carefully chosen resources. This child-led approach makes learning feel exciting, relevant, and personal, helping each child grow in confidence and curiosity.
