Educational Goals (& latest Ofsted Report)
Early Years Foundation
Each morning offers an activity that is targeted at one or more of the following Early Years Learning Goals. Staff plan each activity in advance and then record and evaluate the children’s progress afterwards.
Young children will have a wide range of different experiences and will have a wide range of skills and interests when they join our setting. They need a well planned and resourced curriculum to take their learning forward and to provide opportunities for all children to succeed in an atmosphere of care and of feeling valued.
The curriculum covers all six areas of children’s development.
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
· Promoting an inclusive ethos and providing opportunities for each child to become a valued member of our group and community and to encourage a strong self image and self esteem.
· By providing opportunities that will enable each child to learn how to co-operate and work harmoniously alongside and with each other and to listen to each other.
Communication, Language and Literacy
· To give opportunities for all children to talk and communicate in a widening range of situations, to respond to adults and to each other.
· To provide resources for reading and writing; with opportunities for all children to explore, enjoy, learn about and use words and text in a broad range of contexts and to experience a rich variety of books.
Mathematical Development
· To provide resources for mathematical development, with opportunities for all children to develop their understanding of number, measurement, pattern, shape and space by a broad range of context in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practice, and talk about them.
Knowledge and Understanding of the World
· To provide resources with opportunities for all children to solve problems, make decision experiment, predict plan and question in a variety of context, and to explore and find out about their environment and people and places that have significance in their lives.
Physical Development
