EYFS - The Early Years Foundation Stage

The provision for childrenʹs development and learning is guided by the Early Years  Foundation Stage (DfE 2021). Our provision reflects the four overarching principles of the Birth to 5 Matters: Non-statutory guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage.  

A Unique Child

♣ Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable,  confident and self assured.  

Positive Relationships   

♣ Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.  

Enabling Environments  

♣ Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences  respond to their individual needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners,  parents and carers.  

Learning and Development

♣ Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates.   The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years’ provision  including children with special educational needs and disabilities.
