Our Curriculum
How we Help Children to Learn
Within the group all children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace by means of developmentally appropriate play activities and a high level of individual adult input and care. We use the Early Years foundation stage to support our planning for the day. Our policy throughout is that the children are learning through PLAY.
We know that children will only be able to play and learn if they feel safe and happy – that is always our Priority.

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
“Play is vital for children. It’s through play that babies and young children learn, grow and have fun.” (EYFS - It’s Child Play)
Our Daisy and Rainbow Educational Programme and aspirations for the children is based upon the EYFS
Personal, Social and Emotional
Our children will form strong, warm, and trusting relationships with adults and other children. They will have a confident sense of self and begin to understand the impact they have on others. Children will feel safe and secure to ‘have a go’ and be developing the skills needed to keep themselves happy and healthy.
Physical
Our children will demonstrate whole body confidence and use a range of tools and equipment with purpose and control. They will be learning to make healthy choices about food, drink, and physical activity.
Communication and Language
Our children will be confident and secure in asking for help and sharing their thoughts and ideas. Children will ask ‘why?’ and engage in sustained shared thinking. They will have a wide love of words and use language creatively.
Literacy
Our children will embrace books and stories as a source of enjoyment and learning. Children will have fun with a wide range of words, songs, and rhymes. They will have the skills and desire to make their own marks for a purpose.
Mathematics
Our children will see themselves as confident mathematicians. They will enjoy exploring and developing their understanding of mathematical concepts. They will have a secure knowledge of numbers up to 5.
Understanding the World
Our children will know about their local community and have a sense of belonging. They will begin to understand the need to respect and care for their environment and all living things.
Expressive Arts and Design
Our children will display confidence in their creativity through imagination, body, voice, and music. They will be able to develop their own ideas and decide which materials and tools to use to create them.

- The EYFS covers children from birth to end of reception (the first year) in school.
- All children are supported in developing their potential at their own pace by developmentally appropriate play activities and a high level of adult input.
- We plan from children’s individual needs, interests, and schemas (repetitive patterns of play across various situations).
