Early Years Foundation Stage

Our Early Years Foundation Stage consists of seven areas of learning. Three of these areas are the prime areas of learning.

Three areas of prime learning:

• Communication and language
• Physical Development
• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Four specific areas of learning:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World
• Expressive Arts and Design

Our teachers provide an exciting environment (indoors and outdoors) where children can engage in both child-initiated activities and teacher-led activities in order to develop their learning in these seven areas. We use the Development Matters Framework to help us plan for and assess these activities.
