EARLY YEARS FOUNDATION STAGE
We are guided by the EYFS and our provision reflects the four over arching principles of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Stage (DfE 2021) The 4 principles are:
A unique child
Positive relationships
Enabling environments
Learning & Development.
We know and acknowledge all individuals develop at different paces and we are here to support them in their learning journey.
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.
