Introduction

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) extends from the age of 0-5 years. Children join us at various
stages from 18 months of age. Compulsory schooling begins at the start of the term after a child’s fifth
birthday. Key Stage 1 begins at the beginning of Year 1. The Foundation Stage is important in its own
right and in preparing children for later schooling. At RBIS Bangkok we believe that early childhood is the
foundation on which children build the rest of their lives. Our aim is to provide a caring and stimulating
environment where every child feels empowered to develop as an independent learner.

Our practitioners will provide opportunities that build upon children’s experiences and interests to enable
all children to reach their potential in every aspect of their development.

We recognise that starting in the nursery and the school can be a stressful time for both the child and
the parent. To support the smooth transition into the nursery and school we plan to meet the needs of
child and their family through an induction programme to enable a happy entry into the Nursery, Pre-
Reception, Reception and beyond to ensure ongoing well-being.

We aim to ensure young children achieve the five outcomes of Every Child Matters. At RBIS Bangkok
we embrace the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage (2014), the principles and commitments. The
Revised Early Years Foundation Stage is a statutory document which details the standards for learning,
development and care for all children within the Early Years Foundation Stage. At the end of the Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) the children’s learning and achievement will be recorded by completion
of the EYFS profile.

RBIS Bangkok is committed to the EYFS themes and principals which set out the standards for the
learning, development and care of children from birth to five (Development Matters in the Early Years
Foundation Stage).

A Unique Child

We place high importance on developing children’s physical and emotional well-being, through early
observation our skilled practitioners create an environment in which all our children can thrive. We
recognise that children arrive with a wide range of skills, abilities and particular interests. We understand
that each child is a competent learner, so we start from the children, finding out about them, before
planning experiences to intrigue, challenge and extend their learning.
