"Helping children develop and learn" |
What is it? |
EYFS seeks to ensure that whichever nursery parents choose, they can be confident that their child will receive a quality experience that supports their development and learning. The EYFS principles that guide the work of all practitioners are grouped as follows: |
A Unique Child |
Recognises that every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. The commitments are focused around development; inclusion; safety; and health and well-being. |
Positive Relationships |
Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person. The commitments are focused around respect; partnership with parents; supporting learning; and the role of the key person. |
Enabling Environments |
The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children's development and learning. The commitments are focused around observations, assessment and planning; support for every child; the learning environment; and the wider context - transitions, continuity, and multi-agency working. |
Learning and Development |
Recognises that children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates, and that all areas of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected. This approach ensures that the EYFS meets the overarching aim of improving outcomes and reflects that it is every child's right to grow up safe; healthy; enjoying and achieving; making a position contribution; and with economic well-being. To read more about the Early Years framework, follow this link: http://www.standards.dcsf.gov.uk/eyfs/resources/downloads/statutory-framework.pdf To achieve the EYFS it is paramount that parents are involved at all stages of their child's development at the nursery. It is a two-way dialogue to promote children's well-being. Please help us to establish this relationship by contributing and getting involved as much as possible with our topics and activities. |
