 Early Years Foundation Stage
The EYFS framework sets the standards for the learning, development and care of children from birth to the end of the EYFS which is the 31 August after their 5th birthday.
From 1st September 2008 all schools and early years providers in Ofsted registered settings e.g nurseries, childminders etc will be required to deliver the EYFS.
The main aim of the EYFS is to help each child achieve the five

* To be healthy |
* A unique child |
|
* To stay safe |
* Positive relationships |
|
* To enjoy and achieve |
* Enabling environments |
|
* To make a positive contribution |
* Learning and Development |
|
* To achieve economic wellbeing |

How we achieve it ...
All our learning is achieved through a variety of play activities. The activities are based around a monthly theme which may be a festival (Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day) or an event (Comic Relief) or a general topic (flowers, insects, animals, weather). Each week we will have crafts and cooking, plus stories & rhymes that link in with our theme.
I will observe your child during these play activities and take photographs which will enable me to get a clear understanding of your child’s stage of development. I will then be able to link it to the EYFS and provide activities and experiences to support your child’s learning.
