Nest (1–2 years)
Where comfort, trust, and gentle discovery begin
The Nest is a gentle beginning, a place where little ones are welcomed with care, calm, and kindness. Here, we focus on creating secure relationships, comforting routines, and simple sensory experiences that help toddlers feel safe and seen.
Children explore and make sense of their surroundings at their own pace. Small groups and a high adult-to-child ratio ensure each child receives the attention they need.
What begins to bloom here:
- Trusting adults who care for them every day
- Feeling safe in calm, familiar routines
- Exploring through touch, sound, and movemen
- Taking early steps and starting to speak
- Playing near others and beginning to connect
KEY Areas of Learning:
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Understanding the World
Wiggle (2–3 years)
Where joyful movement sparks first independence
In Wiggle, children are full of energy and ideas. It’s a time to explore various activities like running, climbing, stacking, painting, and talking as they discover new experiences through play. Songs, stories and messy play nurture early friendships, and expression.
Educators follow their lead, offering just enough structure and security while keeping exploration and choice at the heart of every day.
What emerges here:
- Building early vocabulary through songs and stories
- Making simple choices and following their interests
- Forming first friendships and play side by side
- Developing fine and gross motor skills

Caterpillar (3–4 years)
Where ideas grow and imagination comes alive
Caterpillar is a time of connection and curiosity, where children begin to connect the dots. They tell stories, ask questions, and notice how things work. We offer thoughtful guidance to help them express their emotions with greater clarity.
Each day is designed to feel both calm and full of possibilities, giving children space to explore and confidence to try.
What takes shape here:
- Sharing ideas and stories
- Noticing patterns, numbers, and early concepts
- Naming and talking about their feelings
- Playing in small groups with shared ideas
- Joining daily rhythms and group time

Chrysalis (4–5 years)
Where curiosity deepens and confidence blooms
In the Chrysalis stage, children become more confident explorers, growing with independence and a thirst for understanding. Children begin to recognise words, write letters, count objects, and express emotions in thoughtful ways.
Educators support each child’s pace, encouraging voice, choice, and joyful effort. The aim is not just school readiness, but a readiness to belong, contribute, and thrive.
What strengthens here:
- Reading and writing readiness
- Understanding early number concepts
- Taking initiative in problem-solving
- Working together with empathy and turn-taking
- Expressing feelings with more language and confidence

Butterfly is where it all gently comes together. Children begin to think independently and collaborate meaningfully. Here, learning blends phonics and numeracy with stories, projects, and play, creating a joyful bridge from preschool to the wider world.
Most of all, children are given space to express themselves with confidence, with kindness, and with their whole voice.
What takes flight here:
- Reading simple words and begin forming sentences
- Solving early maths problems with logic and creativity
- Thinking independently and reflect on their learning
- Showing leadership in group settings
