Early Years Foundation Stage

Asa childcare provider, we meet the criteria of the EYFS, which is defined by the Department for Education; this means following a structure of learning, development and care for all our children.

We are committed to the EYFS, ensuring that:

• Children learn through play.
• We work closely with all parents and have a key person system in place.
• We take every child’s unique qualities and interests into consideration when planning their day.
• We keep parents up-to-date on their child’s progress.
• We meet the welfare, learning and all-round development needs of children with different backgrounds and levels of ability, including those with special educational needs and disabilities.

To help children reach their full potential, we deliver the EYFS curriculum of learning through purposeful play and a mix of planned adult-led and child-initiated activities. Whilst all areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected, the EYFS framework splits the areas of learning into “Prime” and “Specific” Areas.

For our youngest children we focus strongly on the three prime areas which are fundamental and focus on developing core skills that support development in all other areas of learning. These three areas are:

• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development

The four specific areas of learning include essential skills and knowledge for children to participate successfully in society and are a greater focus for the older children alongside the prime areas of learning. These four specific areas are:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Expressive Arts and design
• Understanding the World

For further information regarding the EYFS and how parents can support children with their learning and development please visit the following websites:

Staff recognise the four aspects of the framework:

A Unique Child

* Child Development *Inclusive Practice *Keeping Safe *Health and Well Being

Positive Relationships

*Respecting each other *Parents as Partners *Supporting Learning *Key Person

Enabling Environments

*Observation, Assessment & Planning *Supporting Every Child *The Learning Environment *The Wider Context

Learning & Development

*Play & Exploration *Active Learning *Creativity & Critical Thinking *Areas of Learning & Development

The framework takes as its focus the child; through the four aspects we recognise babies and children’s individuality, efforts and achievements.

Children participate in a range of activities designed to form the basis of their numeracy and literacy skills; creative art and craft activities encourage the development of children’s imagination providing opportunities to express feelings and ideas; activities such as listening to and making music, drama/role play, outdoor play, develop control, manipulative skills, mobility, balance and increase spatial awareness.

Keeping children safe is everyone’s responsibility
