Children's development and learning

 

We aim to ensure that each child:

• is in a safe and stimulating environment

• is given generous care and attention, because of our ratio of qualified staff to children, as well as volunteer helpers

• has the chance to join in with other children and adults to live, play, work and learn together

• is helped to take forward their learning and development by being helped to build on what they already know and can do

• has a personal key person who makes sure each child makes satisfying progress

• is in a setting that sees parents as partners in helping each child to learn and develop

• is in a setting in which parents help to shape the service it offers

 

How we provide for development and learning

 

Children start to learn about the world around them from the moment they are born. The care and education offered by our setting helps children to continue to do this by providing all of the children with interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.

​

Learning through play

​

Play is at the heart of everything we do!

​

Being active and playing supports young children’s learning and development through doing and talking. This is how children learn to think about and understand the world around them. We use the EYFS statutory guidance on education programmes to plan and provide opportunities which will help children to make progress in all areas of learning. This programme is made up of a mixture of activities that children plan and organise for themselves and activities planned and led by practitioners.

​

Our provision reflects the four overarching principles of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (DfE 2014):

 

A 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 practitioners, parents and carers.

​

Learning and Development

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years provision including children with special educational needs and disabilities.
