Ages and Stages
Babies
Children under 2
Babies are curious from the very beginning, using all their senses to explore, connect and learn about the world around them.
At our centres, we create safe, nurturing environments filled with carefully chosen resources that encourage discovery, wonder and exploration. Every interaction is an opportunity for learning as your baby begins to build confidence, communicate and make sense of the world.
Our teachers take the time to build warm, responsive one-on-one relationships with each child. Through cuddles, smiles, conversation, music, movement and play, they create a strong foundation for learning and wellbeing, helping your baby feel secure, valued and supported to thrive.
We know that routines are an important part of your baby's day. Our teachers work closely with you to understand your child's individual needs and maintain familiar routines wherever possible. By building strong partnerships with families and keeping communication open, we create consistency and a sense of trust as we become a part of your child's learning journey.

Toddler
Children 2-3
Toddlers are active, curious and determined learners, eager to explore the world around them and discover what they can do for themselves.
At our centres, toddlers are supported to learn through play, exploration and meaningful relationships in environments that are safe, nurturing and filled with opportunities for discovery. Carefully designed spaces and engaging resources encourage children to investigate, create, problem-solve and build confidence as they develop new skills and support their learning and development in the early years.
Our teachers take the time to get to know each child as an individual. By understanding their interests, strengths and emerging abilities, we create learning experiences that build on what excites and motivates them. Whether they’re painting, building, climbing, dancing or pretending, our teachers actively support and extend their learning through play.
The toddler years are an important time for growing independence, communication and social confidence. As children begin to form friendships and navigate relationships with others, our teachers gently guide them to develop important social and emotional skills such as empathy, cooperation, resilience and self-expression.
We work closely with families to understand each child’s unique personality, routines and interests, creating a sense of consistency and partnership that helps toddlers feel secure, supported and ready to thrive.
Preschooler
Children 3-6
Preschoolers are becoming increasingly independent, confident and capable. They are eager to contribute, build friendships and take on new challenges as they prepare for the next stage of their learning journey.
Friendship, exploration and adventure are part of everyday life in our centres. We know every child learns differently, so our teachers support each preschooler to learn in ways that reflect their strengths, interests and individual pace of development.
As children grow in confidence, they continue to develop important social and emotional skills, learning how to communicate, cooperate, self-regulate and build positive relationships with others. Our teachers create engaging learning experiences that spark curiosity and imagination, encouraging children to investigate ideas, ask questions, solve problems and think creatively.
Through play, exploration and meaningful experiences, children are supported to develop the skills they need for life. We encourage independence, resilience and responsibility, helping children feel confident trying new things, caring for their belongings and working alongside others.
Our Set for School programme helps children and families prepare for their transition to school. Through a focus on confidence, communication, self-management and early learning skills, children are supported to feel ready, capable and excited for this important next step.
