At Playmates we use the Early Years Foundation Stage framework as a basis and guide to our teaching and care.
 
Our curriculum follows 7 specific areas of learning, and we offer a variety of activities that promote learning through play.

When children start with us at the age of 2 years in the Cabin, initially, we use the 3 prime areas only:
 
    > communication and language
​   > personal, social and emotional                 development
​   > physical development

When children graduate to the Bungalow (at approximately 3 years old) a further 4 areas are added to the curriculum;

    > literacy
    > mathematics
    > understanding the world
    > expressive art & design
