Our Early Years Curriculum

Supporting Every Stage of Early Learning

How We Help Your Child Learn

Their Interests Shape Our Activities

At Grow Happy, our curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which guides learning and development from birth to five. We bring this into everyday play, with activities that suit your child’s age, interests and needs. Building, creating, talking and exploring together give children opportunities to practise new skills and follow their curiosity.
Our team notices what your child enjoys, what they can already do and where they need a little help. We use this to plan what comes next, offering new challenges without rushing them. We share their discoveries and progress with you, and listen to what you’re noticing at home too.
