Parents are children’s first educators, so we work in partnership with families to build on their detailed knowledge of their child’s interests and starting points. This helps us to extend children’s learning and play, giving them a rich and tailored learning experience. Home visiting is one of the ways we build strong links with every family. This helps us to better understand and support each unique child. 
This information then forms the basis of our planning and helps us to ensure that we are providing a range of appropriate and responsive play and learning opportunities which are both child initiated and adult led.

Early Years Foundation Stage

All practitioners in the setting use the Early Years Foundation Stage, EYFS, (characteristics of effective learning, prime and specific areas of learning and development) alongside other frameworks and assessment tools to plan appropriate learning and development experiences based on children’s individual interests. 

Characteristics of effective learning

  • Playing and exploring, which is about finding out and exploring, playing with what they know and being willing to ‘have a go’.

 

  • Active learning, which is about being involved and concentrating, persevering and enjoying achieving, what they set out to do.

 

  • Creating and thinking critically, which is about having their own ideas, making links in their learning and developing strategies for ways of doing things.

Prime areas:

Communication and language

Personal, social and emotional

Physical development

Specific areas:

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the world

Expressive arts and design

We think carefully about how children engage with other people and their environment to support each and every child to be an effective and motivated learner. Practitioners observe how children use the resources and the spaces to plan further learning and development opportunities for children in the setting. 
They deliver a comprehensive, challenging and well-balanced curriculum that interlinks all aspects.
