We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This is a statutory framework that sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that the children in their care learn and develop well, stay safe and are kept healthy.
The EYFS promotes partnership working between practitioners and families to ensure the best start possible for children. It seeks to make sure that every child makes good progress and has the opportunity to gain a secure foundation through learning and development opportunities. These opportunities and experiences must take into account individual children’s needs and interests. Children start to learn from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by our school helps children to continue to do this by providing all the children interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development. Our curriculum provides children with quality learning experiences, which are structured, balanced, relevant to the child, related to the real world and rooted in ‘PLAY’, promoting the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) focussing on the distinct needs of the children.
The EYFS framework outlines seven areas of learning and development in both an indoor and outdoor learning environment. All areas of learning and development are important and are inter-linked. There are three prime areas of learning, which are particularly important for your child’s development and future learning as they underpin the remaining four areas of learning:
