The Early Years Foundation Stage

It is the period of education from birth to five years.

There is a strong emphasis on learning through play, both child initiated and planned play.

The curriculum is delivered through:-

a combination of whole class activities

adult led focussed activities

child initiated activities.

Development Matters

We follow the new EYFS which was implemented in September 2012

The child’s learning is collected in a learning Journey. Class Jonah’s are called the ‘Clever Cat’ book.
