Our enquiry-based learning approach means we follow a curriculum that emerges from allowing children’s interests and ideas to create direction for co-constructed learning. We incorporate the Early Years Foundation Stage (curriculum for 0 to 5 years) into our work with the children, ensuring their learning covers all areas of development, from physical development and personal and social skills, to early mathematics and literacy.

We ensure that we spend as much time as we can working with the children at Little Owls, observing them in play and learning, sharing their progress, and using our expertise to ensure they have meaningful interactions to deepen their curiosity and understanding. This will enable us to gain consistent insight into where they are in their development and where to go next, through our extensive knowledge of them as individuals.
