All of our schools follow the same philosophy, and have children from many different nationalities and backgrounds playing and learning together. All of our teachers have the necessary qualifications and/or experience, and undergo training to implement the systems and philosophy that the school practices.

  

We are also an official training centre for the National Vocational Qualification in Early Years Care and Education, (N.V.Q). This is an English qualification, with two levels. Level 2 and level 3.

  

All of our centres have been inspected, assessed, and accepted by the Finnish Health, Environment, and Social Offices. Our schools also fulfil the Finnish Esikoulu (first school) curriculum requirements and both the English ‘Early Years Foundation Stage’ curriculum and ‘Key Stage 1’ for the 6-7yr olds.

  

Edexcel, which is an official training body for the NVQ, initially visited each of our schools to assess their suitability as training centres. Edexcel representatives also continue to visit our centres twice a year for external verification purposes.
