Our Childcare Curriculum

Our Childcare Curriculum follows the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The EYFS sets the national standard for the care, such as, learning and development of babies and children up to the age of five.

Although EYFS sounds very formal, it actually focuses on learning through play. Also, it allows our team to support your child’s learning and development with inspirational activities. The activities are also tailored to their unique likes and interests. In particular, it helps us work in partnership with parents and to ensure our children are socially, emotionally, academically and physically ready when it’s time to go to school.

Activities

Lots of people make the mistake of thinking that children and nursery practitioners just spend the day playing and having fun at nursery. But, that’s not all we’re doing. We provide a wide range of stimulating activities. Including, messy play and baking, to art and gardening. The @ Little Footprints highly-trained team members are always making sure that the key areas of learning are covered in new and exciting ways.

Every child deserves the best possible start in life and support to fulfil their potential.  A childs experience in the early years has a major impact on their future life chances.  A secure, safe and happy childhood is important in its own right and provides the foundation for children to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up. The EYFS principles are grouped into four distinct themes. The 4 main principles of the EYFS are:

 Every child is a unique child, who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured

Our children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships

Children learn and develop well in enabling environments, in which their experiences respond to their individual learning needs and there is a strong partnership between practitioners and parents and/or carers

The children develop and learn in different ways and at different times
