Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances.

A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

 Our EYFS classes, Nursery and Reception, give children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.

The EYFS Framework explains how and what your child will be learning to support their healthy development.  Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through seven areas of learning and development.  Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting children’s curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

• Communication and language
• Physical development
• Personal, social and emotional development

 As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in four specific areas.  These are:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the world
• Expressive arts and design

These seven areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities.  The professionals teaching and supporting your child will make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs.
