Initially we focus children’s learning in three prime areas. These areas are
fundamental in children’s development and work together to support
further learning in four specific areas. The prime areas provide children
with essential skills and knowledge which enables them to participate
successfully in society. As children develop in confidence and ability the
learning is balanced across all of the areas of learning.
The prime areas of learning are:
1.

Making relationships
Self-confidence and self-awareness
Managing feelings and behaviour
2.
Physical Development
Moving and handling
Health and self-care
3.
Communication and Language

2.
Mathematics

Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS)
The EYFS is a framework produced by the DfE which sets standards for
learning and development for children aged from birth to five years. The
EYFS is based upon four principles:
Unique Child - Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning
and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Positive Relationships - Children learn to be strong and independent
through positive relationships.
Enabling Environments - Children learn and develop well in enabling
environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual
needs and there is a strong partnership between the key person and
parents and carers.
Learning and Development - Children develop and learn in different
ways. The framework covers the education and care of all children in
early years provision, including children with special educational
needs and difficulties.
