Our Ethos & Curriculum
Active in Mind. Active in Body. Active in Heart.
Our curriculum has been intentionally developed to nurture the whole child - intellectually, physically and emotionally. This ethos underpins everything we do and shapes how children experience their day with us.
Rather than focusing solely on outcomes, we focus on how children feel, engage and grow.
Active in Mind
Curious thinkers and confident learners
Children are supported to explore, question and think deeply through play-led learning experiences.
We encourage:
• Strong language and communication through conversation, stories and early literacy
• Early mathematical thinking through hands-on exploration and problem solving
• Creativity through art, music, role play and open-ended resources
• Curiosity about the world through exploration, investigation and discovery
Active in Body
Healthy, capable and confident children
Physical development is central to wellbeing and learning.
Children benefit from:
• Daily outdoor play and movement
• Activities that develop balance, coordination and strength
• Fine motor experiences that support writing and independence
• Gentle yoga and mindfulness to promote focus and self-regulation
Active in Heart
Emotionally secure and socially confident children
Emotional well-being sits at the heart of our practice.
We actively nurture:
• Emotional awareness and expression
• Empathy, kindness and respect
• Positive relationships and social skills
• Confidence, resilience and self-esteem
Children learn best when they feel safe, understood and valued - and this is the foundation of our care.
