Your child will explore various subjects, from arts and crafts, to music and early literacy, preparing them for a bright academic future. They will be accompanied on their learning adventure by our Woodland Explorer characters. Friends like Curious Cat, Friendly Frog and Creative Caterpillar help our children make sense of all areas of the Early Years’ curriculum.
