Areas of Learning:

• Personal and social development (includes respecting and valuing self and others)
• Communication, language and literacy (includes pre reading and writing skills as well as the ability to communicate their thoughts and feelings)
• Problem solving, reasoning and numeracy (including number work, shapes, weighing and measuring etc)
• Knowledge and understanding of the world (opportunities to investigate and take part in practical experiments with a range of materials)
• Physical Development (Opportunities to improve their coordination, balance and fine motor skills as well as gaining an understanding of healthy eating and using all their senses.)
• Creative development (through Art, Music, role play, design and technology etc.)

We believe that none of these can be delivered in isolation from the others; they are equally important and depend on each other to support a rounded approach to child development.

All areas are be delivered through planned, purposeful play with a balance of adult led and child-initiated activities.

These areas are based on the UK EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum)
