Little Learners British Nursery Curriculum

At Little Learners, English is spoken throughout the day and we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum. The EYFS promotes effective practice through each of the six areas of learning to support children through various stages of maturity and development. Our aim is to make learning a fun and challenging experience and recognize the importance of play. They enable children to develop key skills such as speaking, listening, learning to work with others or independently and early literacy and numeracy. 

There are six areas of learning and development which we use when we are observing, assessing and planning for your child's individual needs. These are reflected in your child's learning journey and personalized planning.

These areas of learning and development enable us to constantly challenge your child helping them to develop and succeed.

The 6 areas of learning 

Personal, Social and Emotional (PSED): this is about how confident the children are, how they make friends, share, and take turns and how they manage their feelings and behavior. 

Physical development: how your child moves and uses gross and fine motor skills, can manage self-care independently and learns about healthy living.

Communication, Language and Literacy: how your child listens and pays attention, understands what is being said, communicates with others and develops speech and vocabulary. How your child enjoys books and reading, likes to mark make, learns to write and starts to explore letters and phonics.

Mathematics: how your child learns about counting, numbers explores measures, capacities, space, shapes, and opposites, recognizes the passing of time.

Understanding the World: how your child finds out about nature and the world around them, talks about people and their local community and learns about differences and similarities, about special, cultural and religious events in their lives and others.

Art and Design: how your children enjoy being creative, use color to express themselves, sing, dance and make music. They learn how to use resources in different ways, they use a variety of tools and materials to explore, and with adult support they learn techniques so that they can be used as an effective means of expression.

Each of the six areas of learning are seen by Little Learners' teachers as being equally important with each area being connected to each other and underpinned by all of the principles in the EYFS.
