Early Years Foundation Stage Policy 

“Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child’s experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.“ (Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage, March 2017)

Characteristics of Effective Learning

Playing and Exploring: Engagement

Through play our children explore and develop learning experiences, which help them make sense of the world. They practise and build up ideas, and learn how to control themselves and understand the need for rules. They have the opportunity to think creatively alongside other children as well as on their own. They communicate with others as they investigate and solve problems.

 

Active Learning: Motivation

Active learning occurs when children are motivated and interested. Children need to have some independence and control over their learning. As children develop their confidence, they learn to make decisions. It provides children with a sense of satisfaction as they take ownership of their learning.

 

Creating and Thinking Critically: Thinking

Children are given opportunity to be creative through all areas of learning. Adults support children’s thinking and help them to make connections by showing interest, offering encouragement, clarifying ideas and asking open-ended questions. Children access resources and activities independently to extend their learning.

 

Areas of Learning

The EYFS consists of seven areas of learning:

 

Prime areas	Specific areas
Personal, Social and Emotional Development	Literacy
Communication and Language	Mathematics
Physical Development	Understanding of the World
	Expressive Arts and Design

 

All areas are delivered through a balance of adult led and child initiated activities. In each area there are ELGs that define the expectations for most children to reach by the end of the EYFS.
