The Early Years Foundation Stage
We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to children between the ages of 0 and 5 years. The EYFS underpins all future learning and is divided into seven areas of learning and development:-
Prime areas:
- Personal, Social & Emotional Development
- Communication & Language
- Physical Development
Specific areas:
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts & Design
All teaching is delivered through practical activities and structured play. Parents/carers are closely involved in their child’s learning and are asked to inform staff about their children’s interests. Children's progress is monitored on a regular basis to enable accurate plans to be made for future teaching and learning. Staff work in liaison with other teachers in the foundation stage, including colleagues in private and voluntary settings and in local FS2 classes.
