Our Curriculum
Our curriculum covers all areas of learning and development within the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. These areas are particularly crucial for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, and for building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive.
Early Years Foundation
Stage Framework
We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework to focus on the needs of children from birth to 5 years old. Play is a crucial element, it also outlines the legal welfare requirements that everyone registered to look after children must follow to keep your child safe and promote their welfare.
The EYFS framework sets out the characteristics of effective learning to help the child become an effective and motivated learner.
These characteristics are.......
Communication & Language
Communication and language development involves giving children opportunities to experience a rich language environment; to develop their confidence and skills in expressing themselves, and to speak and listen in a range of situations.
Literacy
Literacy development involves encouraging children to link sounds and letters and to begin to read and write. Children are being given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems, and other written materials) to ignite their interest.
Physical Development
Physical development involves providing opportunities for young children to be active and interactive; and to develop their co-ordination, control, and movement. Children must also be helped to understand the importance of physical activity and to make healthy choices in relation to food.
Mathematics
Mathematics involves providing children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces, and measure.
Expressive Arts & Design
Expressive arts and design involves enabling children to explore and play with a wide range of media and materials, as well as providing opportunities and encouragement for sharing their thoughts, ideas and feelings through a variety of activities in art, music, movement, dance, role-play, and design and technology.
Personal, social and emotional development
Personal, social and emotional development involves helping children to develop a positive sense of themselves, and others; to form positive relationships and develop respect for others; to develop social skills and learn how to manage their feelings; to understand appropriate behaviour in groups, and to have confidence in their own abilities.
Understanding the World
Understanding the world involves guiding children to make sense of their physical world and their community through opportunities to explore, observe and find out about people, places, technology and the environment.
Live daily Reports
Keep in Touch
We’re keen for our parents and carers to know what goes on in the children’s day and to work closely with us, using the same routines and guidelines, to develop happy and confident young children.
All parents and carers have access to a mobile and online app that allows them to see their little ones' daily progress straight to their pockets.
Parents and carers can see there child’s observations and EYFS learning journey.
Finally, all nursery communications is accessible through the app, so to keep everything in one safe place.
