Our learning spaces

Spaces to explore, grow and belong

Each learning space is set up for what children need at their stage, helping them build independence, confidence and a love of learning, with activities and routines that change as they grow.

0–2 years

Baby Cubs

A calm, cosy space where babies follow their own feeding and sleep routines, cared for by the same familiar faces every day.

Development: Soft floor space, tummy time and treasure baskets support rolling, sitting, crawling and first steps.
Independence: Low shelves and safe, open spaces let babies reach, choose and explore for themselves.
Confidence: Close, consistent relationships and your home routines help babies feel secure enough to explore.
Learning: Sensory play, songs, stories and lots of chatter build the foundations of language and curiosity.

2–3 years

Toddler Cubs

A busy, hands-on space for little explorers to climb, splash, paint and chatter, with plenty of support for first words and new skills.

Development: Climbing, balancing and mark-making build strong bodies and the fine motor skills needed for later writing.
Independence: Children are encouraged to put on coats, wash hands and tidy up, with gentle support with toilet training.
Confidence: Small groups mean every toddler is noticed, praised and helped to manage big feelings.
Learning: Messy and sensory play, music, rhymes and stories grow vocabulary and early problem-solving.

3–5 years

Pre-School Cubs

Play-based learning that builds friendships, curiosity and early maths and phonics, ready for the step up to school.

Development: Role play, construction and outdoor challenges develop co-ordination, cooperation and turn-taking.
Independence: Children choose their own activities, serve themselves and manage their belongings, just as they will at school.
Confidence: Children are encouraged to share ideas, try new things and take on small responsibilities.
Learning: Early phonics, counting, mark-making and child-led projects follow each child’s interests.

5–11 years

Big Cubs Club

Breakfast, after-school and holiday care in a relaxed space with games, crafts, quiet time for homework and plenty of fun.

Development: Games, outdoor play and creative projects help school-age children unwind and stay active.
Independence: Older children help plan activities and take responsibility for their own belongings and homework.
Confidence: A friendly, mixed-age club where older children can be role models for the younger cubs.
Learning: A quiet spot for reading and homework, plus themed holiday days to spark new interests.
