EYFS Curriculum & Pedagogy (Birth–5)

A New Area of Little Owls Resources

Little Owls Resources is expanding.

Alongside our extensive printable provision, we are launching a new Curriculum & Pedagogy area designed to support confident, high-quality EYFS practice across Birth–5.

This section brings together structured guidance, planning systems and professional resources — all rooted in real early years practice.



(Founding) Professional Membership Now Available

Reduced introductory rate

Not all curriculum & pedagogy documents will be available immediately. Each resource page will clearly show its availability status. The remaining documents listed as components within each age-specific Pathway strand will be made available by March 31st 2026 at no additional cost to Founding Members.



What Does This New Area Include?

The Curriculum & Pedagogy suite houses a growing library of professional EYFS guidance, including:

  • Guidance pathways for Babies, Toddlers, Preschool, Reception & Mixed-Age Settings

  • Curriculum maps & planning frameworks

  • Age-Specific pedagogy guidance aligned with the EYFS statutory framework

  • Continuous provision and enhancements

  • Child-led & play-based approach

  • Intent, Implementation & Impact and OAP Cycle guidance

  • Assessment, SEND and inclusion built-in

  • Schema support documents

  • Parent Partnership & Transition resources

  • Leadership and inspection-readiness documents

  • EYFSP interpretation

  • Staff Training and Induction resources

  • EYFS Setting & Childminder Policies

  • An approach that is: Professional-Judgement-Led, SEND-Inclusive and supports Reduced Paperwork & Coherence Across Age Phases

These resources are designed to support professional judgement, not replace it — and to reduce workload by offering clarity, coherence and purpose.


Professional Members have access to all of the following pathways:

Please select one to start exploring…or keep reading here to find out more!

Some practitioners may use more than one pathway. Once inside a pathway, whole-setting guidance is also available such as curriculum maps, policies & schematic provision toolkits.

 

Who Is This For?

This new area is designed for:

  • Early years practitioners working across Birth–5

  • Nursery and preschool settings

  • School-based EYFS teams

  • Childminders
