Our Classes

We believe in investing as much in character (personal, social and emotional) development, as much as we do the cognitive and physical in our Early Years Education, and we start that values-based pedagogy in our baby room class all the way through to our preschoolers, starting with a focus on understanding their immediate community, and their place within it, through to the wonder of the wider world, and the people and cultures that can be found beyond our borders...

The Early Years Foundation Stage Statutory Framework outlines the 7 areas of learning that we, as educators, need to focus on nurturing to ensure your child is school ready by five - they are Communication & Language; Physical Development; Emotional Development; Literacy; Numeracy; Understanding the World; and Arts and Expressive Design. And for us, the best framework to track your child's development against those 7 areas, is Birth to Five Matters, which provides us, and you, the milestones we need to secure to prove to you, your child and Ofsted that we're delivering the educational value we know we offer.
