Learning

The children's learning is based on the Early Years Foundation Stage of the National Early Years curriculum

It sets out a play based framework, based on four principle themes:

EYFS Themes and Principles
A Unique
Child		 Positive
Relationships		 Enabling
Environments		 Learning and
Development
Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person. The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children's development and learning. Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.

The six areas of learning are:

P.S.E. Personal, Social and Emotional development. Supporting:
Dispositions and Attitudes, Self-confidence and Self-esteem, Relationships, Behaviour and Self-control, Self-care and Sense of Community.
