The Early Years Foundation Stage
The Revised Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) introduced from September 2022 is a framework for the care, education and welfare of children from birth to 5 years and underpins all working practices within the Pre-School. Through their play, children will learn at their highest level and with the support of our highly professional staff team will make achievements across all areas.
A Unique Child
Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self assured.
Positive Relationships
​
Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.
Enabling Environments
​
Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners, parents and carers.
​
Learning and Developments
​
Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years provision including children with special educational needs.
How we provide for development and learning
Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by our setting helps children to do this by providing all of the children with interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.
Learning through play
Play helps young children to learn and develop through doing and talking, which research has shown to be the means by which young children learn to think. Our setting uses the Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage guidance to plan and provide a range of play activities, based on children’s interests, which help children to make progress in each of the areas of learning and development. In some of these activities children decide how they will use the activity and, in others, an adult takes the lead in helping the children to take part in the activity. In all activities information from the practice guidance to the Early Years Foundation Stage has been used to decide what equipment to provide and how to provide it.
