🌟 Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)

Supporting Your Child’s Learning and Development

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the framework that guides how we care for and educate children from birth to five years old. At our nursery, we follow the EYFS guidelines to ensure every child receives the best start in life.

What is EYFS?

EYFS sets the standards for learning, development, and care in early years settings across England. It focuses on helping children grow in a safe, supportive environment while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and confidence.

Our Approach

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development: Building friendships, understanding feelings, and gaining independence.
  • Communication and Language: Developing speaking, listening, and early literacy skills.
  • Physical Development: Encouraging movement, coordination, and healthy habits.
  • Literacy, Mathematics, and Understanding the World: Introducing early reading, numbers, and exploration of the environment.
  • Expressive Arts and Design: Inspiring creativity through play, music, and art.

How We Use EYFS

Our skilled practitioners plan activities and experiences that match your child’s individual needs and interests. We regularly observe and assess progress to ensure every child thrives and reaches important milestones.

Partnership with Parents

We believe in working closely with parents to support children’s learning at nursery and at home. Through regular updates, meetings, and sharing of progress, we keep you involved every step of the way.
