High Quality Early Years Centres
The education and development of your child is our top priority. We take pride in a high-quality inquiry-based curriculum, modern premises, experienced and qualified Educators and inclusive approach.
Inspiring inquiry-based education
Inquiry-based learning in the early years is an approach that places children's natural curiosity at the heart of education. Rather than simply delivering information, educators create environments where children are encouraged to ask questions, explore ideas, investigate materials, and discover answers through hands-on experiences. Through play, discussion, experimentation, and reflection, children develop critical thinking, problem-solving skills, creativity, and a genuine love of learning.
This approach is now widely recognised as the international gold standard in early years education because it aligns with how young children learn best. Leading educational frameworks around the world emphasise child-led exploration, responsive teaching, and meaningful engagement over rote learning. Inquiry-based learning supports not only academic development but also social and emotional growth, resilience, independence, and collaboration. By valuing children's questions and empowering them to think deeply, early years settings foster confident, capable learners who are well prepared for lifelong learning.
Qualified and experienced Educators
Experienced and qualified early years educators play a vital role in shaping children's development during the most formative period of their lives. The early years lay the foundation for future learning, behaviour, and wellbeing, and skilled educators understand how to nurture this growth in a thoughtful and intentional way. Qualifications provide educators with essential knowledge of child development, safeguarding, inclusive practice, and curriculum planning, while experience allows them to respond calmly and confidently to the complex and ever-changing needs of young children.
Children thrive in environments where educators can observe carefully, plan meaningfully, and build secure, supportive relationships. Experienced professionals recognise developmental milestones, identify when additional support may be needed, and create rich learning opportunities through play. Ultimately, qualified and experienced early years educators ensure that children are not only cared for, but truly supported to reach their full potential in a safe, stimulating, and nurturing environment.
Inclusion - Special Educational Needs & Disabilities
Inclusion in early years settings is about creating an environment where every child feels valued, respected, and supported to participate fully in daily life. While inclusive practice is essential for children with disabilities or additional needs, its benefits extend far beyond the individual child. When inclusion is embedded in a setting, all children learn that differences are a natural and positive part of their community.
Inclusive environments foster empathy, patience, and understanding from an early age. Children learn to communicate in different ways, to support one another, and to celebrate diverse strengths and abilities. They develop social skills such as cooperation, kindness, and respect, which form the foundation for strong relationships throughout life. Inclusion also encourages flexible teaching approaches, ensuring that activities are accessible and engaging for everyone.
By promoting inclusion in the early years, educators help to build confident children who see diversity as something to value rather than fear. In doing so, they create a community where every child benefits — academically, socially, and emotionally.
At Play Together, we intentionally create learning environments that support the meaningful participation of every child - regardless of background or ability. We strongly believe that every child is a capable and competent learner and it is our responsibility to create and provide a learning environment to support the child's needs at every stage of their educational journey.
