At Little Adventures Nursery, we don’t just prepare children for school — we prepare them for life. Our Future Ready Curriculum is thoughtfully designed to nurture confident, curious, resilient learners who are equipped for the adventures ahead.

medal-icon What Makes Our Curriculum Different?

Developed by our team of early years experts, our Future Ready Curriculum supports children’s natural development through:

  • Language-rich, playful environments that spark early brain growth
  • Sequenced milestones that build skills progressively and meaningfully
  • A strong focus on emotional security, creativity, and independence
  • Partnership with parents to celebrate learning journeys together

Our curriculum was praised by Ofsted in 2023 as “well-designed and ambitious,” and is proudly tailored to every child’s unique journey — not a one-size-fits-all model.

Learning at Little Adventures is structured around milestones, carefully sequenced to:

  • Build confidence and competence
  • Deepen understanding across all seven areas of learning
  • Apply knowledge in new and exciting ways

Each child’s milestones are celebrated and logged, creating a visible, meaningful learning journey that they — and you — can be proud of.

lightbulb-icon The RICH Learner Philosophy

Our ambition for every child can be summed up in four simple words: Resilient, Independent, Curious, and Happy.

These RICH values shape every part of nursery life:

  • Resilient learners who embrace challenge
  • Independent thinkers who make decisions with confidence
  • Curious explorers who ask questions and seek answers
  • Happy children who feel safe, secure, and valued

Our environments, interactions, and experiences are all designed to nurture these qualities every day.

butterfly-icon Personalised Thrive Goals

Alongside their curriculum milestones, every child at Little Adventures has their own Thrive Goal each term.

These individual goals focus on:

  • Emotional wellbeing
  • Self-confidence
  • Relationship-building
  • Personal achievements

Through playful, purposeful activities, our practitioners support each child to reach their Thrive Goal — celebrating both the small steps and the big leaps.

Our Future Ready Curriculum draws on best practice frameworks, including:

  • The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
  • Characteristics of Effective Learning
  • Child development research into early brain growth

We blend these foundations with our own passion, creativity, and deep commitment to helping children shine.

Because at Little Adventures, being ready for the future isn’t about rushing childhood — it’s about embracing every moment of it.
