it will be the hot sun + high temperatures with the recent "mini heatwave"

Just ensure the plants are kept well watered during hot weather, and if it persists, you may want to consider "shading" (like netting that goes over the greenhouse roof to deflect strong sun rays, or paint Coolglass whitewash)

Which way are the leaves curling?

If they curl up then its most likely temperatures too hot in the day or too varied day to night.

If they curl down it could be greenfly. I've got greenfly appearing in my polytunnel so I'm moving all the ladybirds and ladybird larvae I can find.

I would say that you have got very healthy plants. Good balance of nutrients and moisture. To me what you describe is vigorous growth.
