We deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum through:
 Personal, Social and Emotional Development
The children are individually supported in developing confidence, autonomy and self-respect. They are encouraged to work and concentrate independently and also to take part in group activities. They learn how to share and co-operate with each other as well as with adults. They learn acceptable ways in which to express their own feelings and have respect for the feelings of others through activities, conversation and practical example
 What Personal, Social and Emotional Development means for your child
• Forming warm and caring relationships
• Having time and space to concentrate on activities and experiences to
develop their own interests.
• Learning to take turns and share
• Becoming independent and confident learners
• Developing a positive sense of themselves and a respect for others
 Communication, Language and Literacy
The children are encouraged to extend their vocabulary and fluency by talking and listening in both small and large groups. They are given the opportunity to listen to stories, rhymes, poems and songs and when confident to join in with them. Children are helped to understand that written symbols carry meaning, to be aware of the purposes of writing and when they are ready, to use drawn and written symbols for themselves. A well-stocked book corner gives every child the opportunity to become familiar with books, handle them appropriately and become aware of their uses, both for reference and as a source of stories and pictures.
  What Communication, Language and Literacy means for your child
• Forming positive relationships in order to feel confident in communicating thoughts, ideas and feelings
• Having daily opportunities to share and enjoy a wide range of books, rhymes, music, songs and poetry
• Observing adults reading and writing and being encouraged to experiment with drawing and mark-making
• Accessing a language-rich environment
 Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
The children become familiar with sorting, matching, ordering, sequencing and counting by means of adult-supported practical activities. As their mathematical understanding develops children are assisted to learn and use relevant vocabulary in identifying objects by shape, position, size, volume and numbers. Songs, games and picture books familiarise children with number sequence.
 What Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy means for your child
• Having sufficient time and space to discover mathematical concepts and language
during play based activities
• Being provided with opportunities to explore real-life problems, make patterns, count
and match
• Accessing mathematical resources both indoors and outside
• Developing mathematical understanding through stories, songs, games and
imaginative play
