child-initiated learning opportunities, which is reflected in the teacher’s planning. We support children’s

learning throughout the child initiated and adult led activities, planned play activities and in doing so we
ensure children have opportunities to engage and thrive in all aspects and areas of learning.

Inclusion in the Foundation Stage
We meet the needs of all our children through:
• planning opportunities that build upon and extend children’s knowledge, experience and interests,
and develop their self-esteem and confidence;

• using a wide range of teaching strategies based on children’s learning needs;
• providing a wide range of opportunities which motivate and support children, and to help them to
learn effectively;
• providing a safe and supportive learning environment in which the contribution of all children is
valued;
• using resources which reflect diversity and are free from discrimination and stereotyping;

• planning challenging activities for children whose ability and understanding are in advance of
their language and communication skills;
• monitoring children’s progress and taking action to provide support as necessary.

The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is formed of three prime areas of development:

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development
• Communication and Language
• Physical Development

And four specific areas of development:

• Literacy
• Mathematics
• Understanding the World

• Expressive Arts and Design

Our curriculum for the EYFS reflects the areas for learning identified in the Early Learning Goals. Our
children’s learning experiences enable them to develop competency and skills across the above seven
areas of learning.

We believe that it is vitally important for adults to support children’s learning through play. Learning
should be personalised by building on the child’s interests and involving them fully in reflecting on what
they have learned and how they may build on their skills. Children will be intrinsically motivated to be
life-long learners.
The role of the adults within the setting

At appropriate opportunities the adults will:
• Question, respond to questions and engage the child in extended conversations that support
sustained shared thinking
• Extend vocabulary, knowledge and skills
• Encourage independence
• Add resources that stimulate, motivate and engage the learner
