Our Curriculum

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life.

We comply with the curriculum requirements of the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS framework reflect every child’s right to grow up safe; healthy; enjoying and achieving; making a positive contribution, and with economic well being. Their Four guiding principles are:

  • Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured
  • Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships
  • Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. Green Roots uses the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum to support the child’s individual learning and allow them to make progress in all areas in a pace and style unique to them.
  • Using this child led teaching approach allows the children to make the best possible start in life and sets the foundations for confident, independent children moving forward into primary education
