Early Years Foundation Stage Framework
In Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), you will find our Nursery & Reception children.
Curriculum
Our Curriculum is based around the understanding that children learn best through play and active learning. Our carefully tailored planning allows us to teach across all 7 areas of learning and development. These being:
PSED-Personal Social and Emotional Development
PD- Physical Development
CLL- Communication and Language
L- Literacy
M-Maths
UW-Understanding the world
EAD- Expressive Arts and Design
Planning
Planning in the Early Years is unique. We have a long term plan which shows the ‘Loose themes’ we will be working on throughout the year. However, it is important to note that our planning aims to follow the interests of the children. Often,the direction for our planning can happen in the moment. We believe that children will become more absorbed in their leaning if they are excited and engaged by the content.
Below is the EYFS Statutory Guidance, which shows all 17 areas of learning and the end of year expectations.
The EYFS Development Matters document is used as a guide to support planning and assessment.
