I aim to provide quality learning opportunities which support and extend each individual child's social and intellectual development. All our learning occurs through play activities and is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum for children aged between 0 and 5 years which is also used in Pre-Schools and Reception classes. I provide, plan and resource for a balance of adult andchild-initiated activities.

 

There are seven areas of learning and development that must shape

educational programmes in early years settings.

Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting

children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning. I focus heavily on these
three Prime Areas of Learning:

 

Communication and Language

Personal, Social and Emotional Development

Physical Development

    

Children need a secure basis in these three Prime Areas so that

they can go on to learn effectively in the Specific Areas of Learning:

 

Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding of the World

Expressive Arts and Design

 

All of my activities are planned to stimulate children's individual interests and to help

them develop effective characteristics of learning which will aid them in becoming

life-long learners. I aim to provide opportunities to support children to be engaged, 

motivated to learn and enjoy their achievements.
