Our Approach

EYFS

As with all early years providers in the UK we must meet the statutory framework set out in the Department of Education's Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS).

A full explanation can be found on the Department's website 

 

Below is a brief explanation of how we approach certain key areas within the EYFS framework.

Learning Through Play

By doing and talking whilst they are playing, young children learn to think. Our setting provides a range of play experiences which help children to make progress in each of the areas of learning and development set out in the EYFS. In some of these activities children critically think how they will use the activity and in others, an adult takes the lead in helping the children to take part.

Assessment

We assess how young children are learning and developing by observing them frequently. We use information that we gain from observations to document their progress and where this may be leading them. We ask parents/carers to contribute to assessment by sharing information about what their children like to do at home and how they as parents/carers are supporting development.

 

Learning Journey on Tapestry

We keep a Learning Journey record on an app called Tapestry for each child. Staff and parents working together on this is one of the ways in which the key person and parents work in partnership. Your child's learning journey helps us to celebrate together their achievements and to work together to provide what your child needs for their well-being and to make progress.
