Staff meet your children’s needs through sensitive and appropriate interactions, thereby promoting your child’s self esteem.
Using the EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE framework enables staff to support children in their earliest years. Staff recognise the four aspects of the framework:
A Unique Child
* Child Development *Inclusive Practice *Keeping Safe *Health and Well Being
Positive Relationships
*Respecting each other *Parents as Partners *Supporting Learning *Key Person
Enabling Environments
*Observation, Assessment & Planning *Supporting Every Child *The Learning Environment *The Wider Context
Learning & Development
*Play & Exploration *Active Learning *Creativity & Critical Thinking *Areas of Learning & Development
The framework takes as its focus the child; through the four aspects we recognise babies and children’s individuality, efforts and achievements.
Children participate in a range of activities designed to form the basis of their numeracy and literacy skills; creative art and craft activities encourage the development of children’s imagination providing opportunities to express feelings and ideas; activities such as listening to and making music, drama/role play, outdoor play, develop control, manipulative skills, mobility, balance and increase spacial awareness.
