Early Years
Foundation Stage


The EYFS Framework sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to five.

'Every child deserves the best possible start in life and the support that enables them to fulfil their potential. Children develop quickly in the early years and a child's experiences between birth and age five have a major impact on their future life chances. A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in it's own right. Good parenting and high quality early learning together provide the foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.'

EYFS areas of development

 There are seven areas of learning and development that must shape educational programmes in early years settings. All areas of learning and development are important and inter-connected. 

Three areas are particularly important for building a foundation for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, forming relationships and thriving.

These are the prime areas:

Communication and language

Physical development
​

Personal, social and emotional development 

We must also support children in four specific areas, through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied.
​
​

These are the specific areas:

​Literacy

Mathematics

Understanding the world

​Expressive arts and design
