We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework — but we’ve made it our own.
Our NHC 12 Curriculum blends Reggio Emilia and Montessori approaches around four themes: Grow, Explore, Celebrate, Discover. It’s child-led, play-based, and built around the belief that curious, happy children learn best.
Alongside our core curriculum, children enjoy specialist sessions with Mr Ed (Music), Maria from Beam Academy (Yoga), and El Recreo Spanish (Spanish) — plus outdoor learning, cooking experiences, and themed weeks that bring everything to life.
Parents stay connected through Babysdays and our vibrant parents whatsapp group.

NELI & Maths Champions
We go beyond the EYFS framework to give every child the very best start because school readiness isn’t just about what children know, it’s about how they feel, communicate, and approach the world.
We are a proud NDNA Maths Champions 2025–2026 provider, a nationally recognised accreditation awarded to settings who have trained their staff, embedded evidence-based maths practice, and demonstrated a genuine commitment to raising outcomes. Alongside this, our pre-school children benefit from the Nuffield Early Language Intervention (NELI) programme, developed by Oxford University and proven to significantly accelerate children’s vocabulary, listening, and communication skills. NELI sessions are led personally each week by Sara, our qualified Early Years Teacher and we fund this entirely ourselves, because we believe it matters.
You don’t just receive these accreditations. You earn them. They reflect a team that trains hard, thinks deeply about practice, and holds itself to a higher standard so that every child who leaves NHC walks into school already ahead, confident, curious, and ready to shine.
