Understanding the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Curriculum
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum in the UK is essential for children's learning and development from birth to 5 years old. It focuses on seven key areas, including personal, social, emotional development, physical development, and communication. The curriculum also covers specific areas like literacy, maths, understanding the world, and expressive arts. Through themed activities and responsive teaching, children are encouraged to explore, learn basic skills, and develop progressively in a safe and healthy environment. Phonics schemes like Supersonic Phonics support language development and attention skills.

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework is a government document that all schools and Ofsted-registered early years providers in England must follow. It sets standards for the learning, development and care of your child from birth to 5 years old. The standards ensure your child will learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.
What Will My Child Be Learning? The EYFS framework outlines seven areas of learning and development .There are three prime areas of learning, which are particularly important for your child s development and future learning. These are summarised below (see handout). Personal, Social, Emotional Development Physical Development Communication and Language Supports children to develop strength, balance and coordination as well as improve fine motor skills such as drawing and writing with pencils and increasing independence in self- care and dressing. Develops listening and attention, comprehension and vocabulary. Supports children to learn to get on with others and make friends, understand and talk about feelings, learn about right and wrong and ultimately feel good about themselves.
There are four specific areas of learning, through which the prime areas are strengthened and applied: Literacy Maths Encourages children to develop an interest in stories and books and link sounds and letters to begin to read and write. End of Nursery children can hear and say initial sounds, oral blend and write their own name and a few other letters. Develops a child s confidence and ability with numbers 1-5 in Nursery and 1-10 in Reception and encourage an understanding of shapes and measures.

How Will My Child Be Learning? The EYFS framework identifies the essential role of play in your child s development. It is through both child-led play and play guided by an adult that your child will develop confidence and relationships with others. Through play, we will help your child to extend their vocabulary and develop their communication skills. The day is made up of a balance between teacher led teaching inputs, teacher led focussed tasks and child initiated learning in both the indoor and outdoor environments.
