Our ethos

We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which guides how we support children's learning, development and wellbeing during their early years. We provide all children with a wide range of activities based on careful observation, assessment and record keeping, ensuring that planning is informed by children's interests and developmental needs in line with the EYFS. We aim to offer rich and varied learning experiences that support all areas of learning and development. These experiences may include trips to the local library, forest school sessions, walks within the local community, visits to the park to feed the ducks at Chiswick house grounds or meaningful every day activities, such as posting a letter, helping children make connections between their learning and the world around them.
