The EYFS is divided into four ‘Aspects’ which focus on skill and competence of the child and highlights the interrelationship between growth, learning, development and the environment in which they are cared for and educated. This is done through observations and the recording of each child’s individual learning and careful planning to develop your child for extending and challenging their potential through to their next stage
There are four main themes and principles.
Theme: A unique Child
Principle: Every child is a competent learner form birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Theme: Positive relationships:
Principle: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and /or a key person.
Theme: Enabling Environments:
Principle: The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.
Theme: Learning and development
Principle: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.
The EYFS places emphasis on the outdoor environment.
We encourage this by using our outside area and the surrounding countryside, whenever possible.
As proven children learn through play and this exciting new curriculum is based on what your child is interested in and we as practitioners assist your child to develop and extend on their experiences and achievements.
