Early Years Foundation Stage

Personal, Social, and Emotional Development etc

The EYFS framework sets UK standards for the learning, development, and care of children from birth to five. It provides legal requirements and structures around four key areas of learning, focusing on helping young children achieve their full potential.

The framework sets out the legal requirements for the care of young children relating to Learning, Development and Welfare. These are important areas all parents need to be comfortable with before choosing any type of childcare for their young children.

A Unique Child

We focus on how children develop; we recognise they are all different, but should be treated equally. Positive relationships and good communication is vital. Children need to learn about risks and safety, how to make good choices and how to stick to boundaries. We make every attempt to provide full opportunity for each child to do their best and we achieve this by ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met during their time at our nursery setting.

Positive Relationships

The positive relationships theme is about children learning to manage their feelings and build relationships. We respect all families and aim to develop a positive two-way relationship with parents. We will support, listen and work with the children at Your Child Matters Childcare to help them learn. We have a nominated key carer for each child at the nursery to ensure each child has the opportunity of building a close relationship and is well monitored during their time with us.

Enabling Environments

We plan and check on each child’s progress and make every attempt to involve parents. We ensure that inside and outside spaces of the nursery are safe, interesting and engaging. Our carers support children when they move on, working as a team to help children succeed.

Learning and Development

Your Child Matters Childcare focuses on ensuring young children learn through play and exploration, withsupport for each individual. We encourage children to develop imagination, to get actively involved in learning and to make decisions. We make every attempt to develop children’s creative and critical thinking, balancing the need for both the children and adults to lead the learning.
