Our Early Years Developmental Framework

Grounded in EYFS & Birth to Five Matters

We adopt a holistic approach to early years development using the Birth to Five Matters framework, guided by best practices from Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Forest School, and the EYFS.

Our teaching staff bring expertise across these approaches to ensure children grow in confidence, independence, and emotional intelligence, all while developing strong foundations in communication, movement, and creativity.

Core principles of our framework:
  • Child-led, exploratory learning
  • Connection with nature, self, and community
  • A balance of academic, physical, and emotional wellbeing
  • Multilingual and multicultural exposure
  • Tailored learning journeys tracked and shared with parents
