Interactive.  Reflective.  Fun

At KinderKare we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Statutory Framework in order to provide the best possible careand learning for your child. The EYFS framework supports an integrated approach to early learning and care. It gives all professionals a set of common principles and commitments to deliver quality early education and childcare experiences to all children.

The EYFS seeks to provide:

• Quality and consistency in all early year’s settings, so that every child makes good progress, and no child gets left behind;
• A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each individual child, and are assessed and reviewed regularly;
• Partnership working between practitioners and with parents and/or carers;
• Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practise, ensuring that every child is included and supported.

Your child will be assessed against 17 Early Learning Goals (ELG’S) and three characteristics of effective learning. Children should most develop these 7 prime areas first.

The 17 areas are what we use to plan your child’s learning activities. The Class Teacher and Teaching Assistant will ensure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs, interests, and development.

We use this information to plan a challenging and enjoyable experience for each child. Children in the EYFS learn by playing and exploring, being active and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outdoors..
