Our Curriculum - Seven Areas of learning EYFS
Communication and Language
Our language-rich environment encourages children’s speech and communication skills. Through role play, shared activities, stories and conversations with children and practitioners, they develop confidence and a wide range of vocabulary.
Literacy
Through conversations, stories and shared reading, we develop children’s love of books and understanding of storytelling. Children explore story structure, characters and authors while developing early literacy skills, including recognising letters and their own names.
Personal, Social and Emotional
We support children to develop confidence, emotional wellbeing and positive social skills. Through outings, sharing, turn-taking and encouraging independence, children learn to manage their personal needs effectively, including toileting and good personal hygiene practices.
Mathematics
We develop children’s understanding of number through counting, patterns, shape, space and measure. We encourage curiosity, confidence and a positive attitude towards learning, helping children to explore, experiment and learn from mistakes.
Expressive Arts and Design
We encourage creativity and self-expression through a wide range of activities, including art, music and imaginative play. Children explore different materials and media, developing their creativity, confidence and ability to express their ideas and imagination
Physical
We support children’s fine and gross motor development through a range of indoor and outdoor activities. From sensory exploration to riding bikes, children develop core strength, spatial awareness, coordination, control and precision through active play.
Understanding the World
We encourage children to explore and understand the world around them through a wide range of experiences. Walks, local visits, outings and visitors such as firefighters, police officers and vets help broaden their knowledge and understanding of their community and wider world.
