Roots to shoots 
Our curriculum is based at developing the children's roots, just as trees with robust roots are more likely to withstand environmental challenges and flourish, children receive a rich and nurturing early development are better equipped to thrive throughout their lives. Our aim is that all the children are given the opportunities, support and resources so they all have strong roots and are ready for their shoots to start emerging when they leave us for the next stage of their journey.
