At Safari Childcare, our tailor-made curriculum begins with your child—celebrating their uniqueness and building the foundations for a bright and successful future.
Our vibrant, homely settings are more than just a place to play—it’s a launchpad for learning, imagination, and discovery. We combine a warm, nurturing environment with rich, stimulating experiences to ensure every child thrives across all areas of development.
We’ve designed our curriculum around five powerful learning pillars that support every child to be well rounded individuals preparing them for early education and a love of life long learning
Through every story told, game played, and friendship formed, they will grow into confident, capable individuals ready to contribute to the world around them.
Come and explore where a lifelong love of learning begins
At Safari Childcare, children learn through safe, inspiring and age-appropriate experiences that encourage curiosity, confidence and independence.
Created by Early Years specialists, our curriculum combines planned learning, child-led discovery and meaningful interactions to support every child’s development and love of learning.
Our curriculum has been designed by Early Years specialists with a strong understanding of child development.
Every part of our curriculum supports the Early Years Foundation Stage while allowing children to learn through curiosity and play.
We recognise that every child is unique, adapting learning to their interests, strengths and developmental needs.
Children learn best when they are actively involved, emotionally connected and encouraged to follow their natural curiosity.
That is why our curriculum is built around high-quality books, imaginative play, investigation and hands-on experiences that help children make sense of the world around them.
From storytelling and role play to creative activities, outdoor learning and problem-solving tasks, every experience is designed to help children question, imagine, communicate and explore with confidence.
While school readiness is an important part of early years education, we believe children need more than academic preparation alone.
Our curriculum supports the whole child, helping children develop the social, emotional, physical and communication skills they need to thrive in nursery, school and everyday life.
We encourage children to become confident communicators, independent thinkers, kind friends, resilient learners and curious explorers of the world around them.
Helping children express themselves, listen carefully, build vocabulary and communicate with confidence.
Encouraging children to explore ideas, create freely and express themselves through art, music, movement and play.
Supporting children to make choices, try new things and develop a positive sense of self.
Helping children build friendships, understand emotions and feel safe, valued and supported.
Encouraging children to ask questions, investigate, think critically and explore the world around them.
Our curriculum is built around key areas of development that help children grow into confident, capable and well-rounded learners.
Each area is carefully woven into everyday nursery life, giving children opportunities to practise new skills, revisit important learning and build strong foundations over time.
These foundations support children’s communication, creativity, wellbeing, independence and understanding of the world around them.
The best way to understand the Safari Childcare curriculum is to see it in action.

Whether you are considering our Hutton or Runwell nursery, we would love to welcome you and answer any questions about your child’s early years journey.
The world children are growing up in is constantly changing, and our curriculum is designed to help them develop the skills they need for the future while still enjoying the magic of childhood.
Alongside communication, literacy and mathematics, children are encouraged to explore creativity, wellbeing, sustainability, physical development, critical thinking and social responsibility.
From caring for plants and learning where food comes from to building friendships and developing emotional resilience, children are supported to become confident, thoughtful and capable little learners.
No two children learn in exactly the same way, which is why our curriculum provides a flexible framework that can be adapted to each child’s interests, strengths and stage of development.
By combining adult-guided learning with child-led exploration, we create an environment where children feel valued, capable and motivated to learn.
This personalised approach helps every child progress at their own pace while feeling supported, encouraged and celebrated throughout their Safari journey.
Alongside our core curriculum, children can also benefit from our Safari Signature Sessions, which provide additional enrichment experiences designed to extend learning even further.
These carefully planned sessions include opportunities to explore areas such as music, movement, wellbeing, cooking, nutrition, phonics, mathematics and school readiness.
Safari Signature Sessions sit alongside our EYFS-aligned curriculum, giving children even more opportunities to build confidence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.
