The Leapfrog Curriculum
Our Approach
Our goal is to ensure all children make progress. We strive to build on what they already know and prepare them for the next stage of education. We’ve developed a bespoke curriculum that focuses on children’s interests and narrows any gaps. We aim to lay the foundations of having positive attitudes towards learning and give children the skills and motivation to be life-long learners ready for the modern world.
1. Experienced educators
​
​Our best resource is our experienced and dedicated staff, a balance of teaching approaches including child-led play and direct teaching, clear intentions for building on what children know and their starting points, personalising next steps and planning experiences not just activities.
2. Inspiring Environments
​
Bespoke, handpicked resources inspired with current cohorts in mind, open ended set ups inviting children to play, planning based on children’s interests, covering all 7 areas of learning to motivate and inspire children to understand new concepts.
3. Wonderful world
​
Planning with the seasons, exploring the natural environment at our local woodland space, reading in the woods, local walks and park visits, looking after our planet, finding out about other countries, cultural experiences and celebrations
4. Self-expression
​
Listening to voices and having choices, sharing stories, songs and rhymes, signing and language, music and art, design and wood work.
5. Mind and Body Wellness
​
​Physical fitness, yoga and stretching, gross motor skills and healthy eating, cooking and trying new things, learning to regulate and foster relationships, understand feelings and describe emotions.
6. Awe and Wonder

Our Values
Our curriculum is carefully structured around six core values to ensure a broad and balanced education. This thoughtful design allows us to provide children with rich knowledge, essential life skills, and meaningful learning experiences.
By using our values as the foundation, we are able to plan long-term in a way that is connected, purposeful, and progressive. Learning is not isolated — it builds over time, helping children make links, deepen understanding, and grow in confidence.
This approach ensures our curriculum is intentional, coherent, and centred on preparing children not just for school, but for life.
