Early Years Resources, Curriculum & Pedagogy — Created by Practitioners
Little Owls Resources is an early years education platform supporting high-quality EYFS practice through thoughtfully designed printables, curriculum guidance and pedagogy resources.
Everything we create is rooted in real early years settings, professional knowledge, and our lived experience of EYFS practice.
Who We Are
Little Owls Resources was founded by Sara and Stu, experienced teachers and early years practitioners with over 30 years of combined experience across Early Years and Primary education.
We both began our careers as teachers before moving into early years practice, where we ran our own Ofsted-graded Outstanding childcare setting while raising our two daughters. Our work is shaped by both professional expertise and lived experience as parents.
Today, Little Owls Resources remains practitioner-led and created by us, with plans to grow carefully and thoughtfully in the future as the platform develops.
Our Professional Background
Our experience spans classroom teaching, early years leadership and hands-on provision. We understand the realities of EYFS practice — time pressures, accountability, inspection expectations, and the need for resources that support professional judgement rather than add to workload.
This perspective underpins every decision we make, from the language used in our guidance to the way our resources are structured and presented.
How Little Owls Has Grown
Little Owls Resources began in 2018 as a free platform for sharing imaginative, hand-drawn early years printables. We initially created resources evenings and weekends alongside running our childcare setting full time, driven by a desire to make high-quality materials accessible and affordable.
Over time, our audience grew — and so did the conversations. Practitioners began asking not just what to provide, but why: questions about curriculum coherence, pedagogy, assessment, provision and inspection confidence.
In response, Little Owls Resources has evolved.
Alongside our extensive printable library, we now offer a Professional Membership — a structured EYFS Curriculum & Pedagogy Library designed to support confident, informed practice from Birth–5. (To be made available during January 2026)
This development reflects the way early years practice itself has evolved: towards clarity, coherence and principled pedagogy.
How We Create Our Resources
All of our core artwork is hand-drawn in-house, with hundreds of original illustrations created specifically for early years use. Our printables are designed to be visually inviting, developmentally appropriate and flexible enough to be used across a wide range of EYFS settings.
Where appropriate, we also use digital and AI-supported tools to enhance or adapt our original artwork — always with the aim of improving clarity, accessibility and usability.
Every resource is created with practitioners in mind.
Our Values
We believe that:
Early years practice should be relational, play-based and inclusive
Practitioners deserve resources that respect their professionalism
Curriculum should support thinking, not restrict it
Pedagogy matters as much as provision
High-quality resources should remain affordable and accessible
Whether a practitioner is downloading a single printable or engaging deeply with curriculum and pedagogy guidance, our commitment is the same: to support thoughtful, reflective, high-quality EYFS practice.

Little Owls Resources supports:
Nurseries and preschool settings
School-based EYFS units
