Therapy and learning, woven together

Haven is more than a therapy centre. It is an educational hub where each child’s therapies and lessons are planned as one, around who they are.

EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE · AGES 4 TO 6

The early years are a crucial stage. We make them count.

For our youngest learners we follow the EYFS framework, designed to stimulate early development and lay strong foundations. For autistic learners, we place a special emphasis on four areas.

Communication and Language

Visual supports, structured play and speech and language strategies to encourage expression and understanding.

Personal, Social and Emotional

Supporting social interaction, emotional regulation and positive relationships in a safe, predictable setting.

Learning through Play

Sensory-based and child-led activities that spark curiosity, build confidence and develop foundational skills.

Individualised Learning Plans

Personalised targets based on each child’s strengths and developmental needs.
