The Curriculum Team at Early Excellence are all former teachers and school leaders, each with significant experience in EYFS and KS1, bringing a deep knowledge and practical expertise to guide your developments. From curriculum and pedagogy to classroom practice and provision both indoors and outdoors – you can be assured that every element of learning will be integrated into your environment to inspire young minds.

2. Uniquely Bespoke Solutions

Each recommendation is tailored to your unique school context, teacher and pupil needs, shaping the right solution for each of your indoor and outdoor learning environments. With Early Excellence, you will plan collaboratively with our team and engage in professional dialogue to create a design for your space, your children, and your curriculum. The whole experience is personalised, whether we meet online or onsite at your school.

3. Seamless Integration of Pedagogy

Rooted in key principles and drawing on the latest research in Early Years and Early Primary Education, we incorporate evidence-based strategies and solutions aligned with the most effective methods for supporting children’s learning and development across both indoor and outdoor environments.

4. Optimised Learning Experiences

Whether you choose the room planning service, complete classroom solutions or the curated resource collections, you can be assured of rich learning opportunities. All the classrooms and outdoor areas we design align with curriculum requirements, ensuring they promote a broad range of learning outcomes. Our furniture specifications are tailored for children aged 2–7, with resources carefully chosen to optimise development and support effective teaching.

5. Quality & Functionality

Designed by our expert Curriculum Team and built exclusively for Early Excellence, our furniture is made to withstand daily use indoors, in wet or dry areas. Indoors, we provide pre-built, solid furniture with a 10-year warranty, delivered and installed. Outdoors, the metal sheds have a 10-year warranty and our weatherproof, durable solutions – from large stores to compact units – are fully resourced and organised for easy access. Both indoor and outdoor solutions promote children’s independent use and support rich learning experiences. No flat packs, no DIY, and no compromises on quality.

6. Sustainability by Design

We have taken steps to integrate sustainability into all aspects of our operations and products. We are on a journey towards gaining ISO 14001 certification.

All our indoor classroom units are manufactured in the UK using wood-based panel products certified by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) and/or Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This means the timber comes from verified, well-managed forests – ensuring a renewable and sustainable resource with minimal environmental impact.

7. Ethics & Integrity

We are committed to maintaining the highest standards of ethics and integrity across all aspects of our work. These values shape our decisions, define our culture, and guide how we engage with colleagues, customers, suppliers, international agents, and the wider community. We work with highly reputable partners to promote ethical and sustainable practices, with a clear focus on minimising environmental impact, supporting community engagement, and fostering employee well-being. Additionally, we supply our own UK-manufactured Early Excellence furniture, with every indoor and outdoor resource carefully selected and quality-assured by our expert Curriculum Team.

8. Great Personal Service

Teachers and Leaders often tell us that working with our expert Curriculum Consultants is a real privilege – and the feeling is mutual! We love supporting schools and settings that are passionate about improving their learning environments. From your initial consultation through to final delivery, we provide comprehensive support and outstanding customer service for both indoor and outdoor projects. Whatever your needs, queries, timescales, or issues, we’ll do our utmost to help.

9. UK & International Delivery You Can Trust

After your indoor and outdoor environments are refurbished, we’re happy to continue supporting you with ongoing developments and improvements with teaching and learning in EYFS and KS1, if you wish. Many schools that collaborate with Early Excellence go on to develop outstanding indoor and outdoor provision and join our Host School Network to share best practice locally.

Helping Schools Achieve Outstanding KS1 & EYFS Learning Environments

“We were lucky enough to have a personally created room plan, and all I can say is it was a game changer! I noticed the difference almost immediately. The furniture design and clever layout enabled our children to become more independent learners, with more focused adult support and teaching opportunities. It’s such a transformation!”

Jo Berry, EYFS Teacher
Thrussington Primary School

“Having grappled for some time to plan out effective provision in an unusual space, we realised we needed some help! We reached out to Early Excellence who spent time to get to know our provision and the needs of our children before creating a plan to promote more effective learning. What is special about Early Excellence is the continual support and guidance they offer, and as part of our planned development we accessed training to give staff a deeper understanding of best practice.”

Sarah Tindal, Headteacher
Warley Road Primary Academy

“We’ve seen instant impact! I would absolutely recommend the complete solution package to any Headteacher looking to set up a new provision or seeking to reinvigorate their current offer! It was so quick and easy to place the order for the complete classroom online. I didn’t need worry about researching which resources would be right for the children’s developmental ages and stages or for the EYFS Curriculum – Early Excellence had already done all of this thinking for me”

Lynsey Hadfield, Executive Headteacher
Rawmarsh Nursery School
