Our curriculum is play-based and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework. It is also inspired by Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, which place children at the centre of their own learning and encourage curiosity, independence and creativity. Our educators plan experiences based on each child's interests and developmental stage, with strong links to the National Quality Framework.
