Your Curious Cubs Guide

Our teaching approach focuses on engaging, practical activities and games tailored to each child’s individual needs and interests. We use a multisensory approach to make learning fun, interactive and meaningful.

We do not use textbooks. Instead, every session is carefully planned and personalised. Children are also encouraged to choose how they work, whether on a whiteboard or in their writing books, with many preferring the whiteboard.

Every Cub starts with a fun one-to-one assessment which may take place on a different day from their regular session. Through practical activities and engaging games I explore what your child already knows, where they may need extra support and where they are ready for a new challenge.

I use these observations alongside parent feedback and school updates to plan personalised sessions and monitor progress. Learning needs can change so I continually adapt activities to help your child build confidence, strengthen skills and celebrate every little win!

Curious Cubs Hub currently supports children ages 2–9 years. We also have exciting plans to expand! During the academic year, we aim to introduce our Lions & Lionesses Hub extending our provision to secondary-aged learners in Years 7–11 supported by a qualified secondary school member of staff.

Currently all Curious Cubs Hub tuition sessions are delivered on a 1:1 basis allowing us to tailor each session to your child’s individual needs, interests and learning goals. This gives every Cub the opportunity to learn at their own pace, build confidence and shine! 🦁

Our timetable runs weekly during term time with each Cub having their own regular 1:1 session. We also offer optional school holiday sessions which can be arranged separately for families looking for extra learning opportunities during the holidays.

Absolutely! At Curious Cubs Hub, your child’s safety and wellbeing always come first.  I hold an Education Studies (Primary) degree and have extensive experience supporting children’s learning and development. My Enhanced DBS information and all other  qualification certificates are available on request.

You will be able to access the safeguarding on the website.

At Curious Cubs Hub we understand that every Cub is unique. We have extensive experience supporting children with a range of additional needs including Autism, ADHD and Dyslexia as well as children who benefit from extra support with communication, attention, confidence and emotional regulation.

With a background spanning early years and primary education we recognise that every child learns differently and has their own strengths, needs and interests. We work closely with parents and carers to understand each child as a whole taking into account any diagnoses, professional reports, Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) and other relevant information shared with us.

Where appropriate we also work alongside schools and other professionals to help provide a consistent and supportive approach to learning. We adapt activities to suit each child’s individual needs, interests and stage of development using purposeful play, practical experiences and engaging resources to make learning meaningful and enjoyable.

We also have experience using approaches and resources such as Makaton and PECS to support communication. Above all we want every Cub to feel understood, valued and supported with opportunities to build confidence, make progress at their own pace and celebrate their little wins.

Do you offer a trial session?

Yes. Every new Cub begins with an initial session to help me get to know your child, explore their interests and understand their individual learning needs. It also gives you and your child an opportunity to experience the Curious Cubs approach to learning.

Following this session, your child’s place will be confirmed and you will receive an enrolment letter with the relevant details. From there we will begin your Cub’s learning journey together!

At Curious Cubs Hub we want every Cub to leave their session feeling positive and confident about their learning. We don’t routinely set formal homework but we may suggest a little informal challenge or an online game to help your child practice and consolidate what we have explored together.

I’ll also share areas of focus with parents and carers so you know what your Cub is working towards and where a little extra practice at home may be helpful. 

Not at all! We bring all the equipment, stationery and learning resources needed for your Cub’s session so there is no need to purchase anything.

As sessions take place in the comfort of your home your Cub is welcome to have a snack or drink during our time together provided it is non-messy. If your Cub has a favourite teddy or small comfort item they would like to keep close they are very welcome to have it join in with their learning too!

Yes! Holiday sessions are optional and give your Cub the chance to keep learning during the school holidays in a fun and engaging way. Alongside our usual play-based learning sessions we may include creative activities such as arts and crafts to bring a little extra excitement to the holidays.

I will ask parents and carers to register their interest at least three weeks in advance so I can plan activities and organise availability. Whether we’re building on existing skills or exploring something new there are plenty of opportunities for every Cub to learn, grow and shine throughout the holidays.
