In our under-2s space, we focus on creating a warm, responsive environment. Infants are encouraged to explore and engage through sensory experiences that build trust, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.

Our 2 to 3 year olds enjoy activities that support their growing independence and language skills. Through a mix of imaginative play, sensory activities, and guided exploration, we help these young learners make sense of the world around them.

Children in this age group are building friendships and becoming more involved in group activities. Our 3 to 4 years old programme is designed to encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and early literacy and numeracy in a playful and supportive setting.

As children approach school age, our focus shifts to skills that prepare them for the next big step, Set for School. This programme emphasises routines, social skills, early literacy, and numeracy concepts, laying a foundation for success in school. We introduce group projects and more structured activities, helping children gain confidence and a love for learning.
