Where Montessori Philosophy Meets The EYFS

At Little Adventures St.Phillips, we blend Montessori-inspired learning with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to provide a balanced, engaging and meaningful early years experience where every child can thrive.

Children enjoy:

Child-led learning through exploration — following their interests and discovering at their own pace
Practical life activities — building independence, confidence and everyday skills
Sensory play experiences — supporting cognitive, physical and emotional development
Creative and imaginative opportunities — encouraging curiosity, expression and problem-solving
Outdoor exploration and nature-based learning — nurturing wellbeing, resilience and a love of the natural world
Gentle, predictable routines — helping children feel secure, calm and ready to learn

We believe in honouring childhood by allowing every child to grow at their own pace through meaningful, hands-on experiences that inspire confidence, joy and a lifelong love of learning.
