How Will Your Child Be Learning?
The new Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) describes the time in your child’s life between birth and age 5. It is a very important stage, as it helps your child get ready for school as well as preparing them for their future learning and successes. From the day that your child is born up until the age of 5, their early years’ experience should be happy, active, exciting, fun and secure; and support their development, care and learning needs.
The new framework was revised to make it clearer and easier to use, with more focus on the things that matter the most. This new framework also has a greater emphasis on your role in helping your child to develop.
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development. Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first:
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.
As you child grows, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
Transition to School
It’s a huge progression moving from nursery to school and we want to ensure that this is as stress free as possible for you and your child. We work closely with the local schools and the extended community throughout your child’s time with us to ensure we make that transition as smooth as possible when the time comes.
