Early Years Foundation Stage
The nursery employs a fully qualified Early Years teacher to guide and plan the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum for our youngest children in the Baby Room through to our eldest in the Pre-School Room.
From the age of 3, when they are able to understand and enjoy more structured routines, children may have specialist teachers for music, sport and drama. Outdoor Education allows the children to explore the wider school grounds.
The seven areas of learning within the EYFS are:
Prime Areas
- Personal, Social & Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication & Language
Specific Areas
- Mathematics
- Literacy
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts & Design
The development of children’s spoken language underpins all seven areas of learning and development. Please see below links to further information to help support your child’s communication, language and speech.
