At Temple Meadow, our Early Years provide ambitious foundations for future learning. Through an evidence-informed, coherent and inclusive curriculum, we combine purposeful play, explicit teaching and high-quality interactions to develop children’s knowledge, vocabulary, curiosity and understanding.

We have high expectations for every child. Learning builds from children’s starting points, focuses attention on what matters and is carefully sequenced to help important knowledge become secure. Practitioners check understanding systematically and adapt teaching so that every child can participate, achieve and thrive.

Within a safe, predictable and nurturing environment, children develop positive learning habits, independence, resilience and confidence. Strong relationships with children and families create a culture where learning is valued, mistakes are part of learning and every child feels that they belong.

Through everything we do, children are supported to Belong, Nurture, Thrive, Discover and Grow, giving them the knowledge, language and dispositions they need for the next stage of their learning.
