The Early Years Foundation Stage
(EYFS)
What is the EYFS?
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework is a government document that all schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers in England must follow. It sets standards for the learning, development, and care of your child from birth to 5 years old. The standards ensure your child will learn and develop well and is kept healthy and safe.
What Will My Child Be Learning?
The EYFS framework outlines seven areas of learning and development and educational programmes.
There are three prime areas of learning, which are particularly important for your child’s development and future learning:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
Our vision is to ensure that our EYFS is fully inclusive and that everyone can grow and develop as an individual in a safe and nurturing environment. We put children and families at the heart of everything we do valuing parents as their children’s first and most important educators. We have high expectations of all children in our care and aim to form close relationships with families, the wider community, and outside agencies to promote the best outcomes for all children. We aim to inspire pupils to achieve their potential in a stimulating and fun way, laying solid foundations for our children’s future. Praise and clear boundaries contribute to building confidence and resilience of our children. We believe in praising effort and valuing the little steps that really makes a different to the children’s progress and self-esteem.
Our Values:
Friendship, Kindness, Resilience, Respect, Honesty and Pride
