Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

In Nursery we learn, explore and grow together to develop our children into independent learners who are willing to have a go. We strive to make each day an exciting place to learn and achieve through the indoor and outdoor provision areas which reflect the seven areas of the EYFS Curriculum:

• Communication and language
• Personal social and emotional
• Physical development
• Literacy including daily Phonics, Reading and Writing
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive Arts and design

Our Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum is planned and taught using the Early Years Statutory Framework and Development Matters document to ensure a broad, creative and balanced curriculum across all areas of learning and development. The children’s learning is mainly based around one main context each half term. However, young children learn best when they are happy, engaged and feel safe and confident in their environment so we listen to our children and let their interests and questions lead the learning. We plan exciting and challenging learning opportunities that enable our children to take their next steps in their learning. We want children to become creative, inquisitive learners and to have a positive start on their journey through our school.

 

Further information about the EYFS and how your child learns in those vitally important first years, can be found in the following documents:
