Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfill their potential. A child’s experiences in the early years have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe, and happy childhood is important in its own right, and it provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. When parents choose to use early years services they want to know that provision will keep their children safe and help them to thrive.

​

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the framework that provides that assurance.

​

The overarching aim of the EYFS is to help young children achieve the five Every Child Matters outcomes of staying safe, being healthy, enjoying and achieving, making a positive contribution, and achieving economic well-being by;

​

​

• Setting the standards for the learning, development, and care young children should experience when they are attending nursery, ensuring that every child makes progress and that no child gets left behind.

​

• Providing for equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice and ensuring that every child is included and not disadvantaged because of ethnicity, culture or religion, language, family background, learning difficulties or disabilities, gender or ability.

​

• Create the framework for partnership working between parents and professionals, and between the nursery.

​

• Improving quality and consistency in the early years sector through a universal set of standards that apply to all settings, ending the distinction between care and learning in the existing frameworks, and providing the basis for the inspection and regulation regime;

​

• Laying a secure foundation for future learning through learning and development that is planned around the individual needs and interests of the child, and informed by the use of ongoing observational assessment on your very own Famly app accessible through a private log in for immediate updates on your child’s progress.

• To further enrich the children’s experiences there are weekly Spanish lessons from Biliniusing and regular trips out to our local community.
