Maths/Creative Development.The above areas of learning are integrated into the EYFS Framework, which provides support, information, guidance and challenge for all those with responsibility for the care and education of babies and children from birth.
It is important that the Framework is considered within the context of the National Standards for Under Eights Day Care together with the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage
The Framework takes as its focus the child and steers away from subjects, specific areas of experience and distinct curriculum headings. It identifies four Aspects, which celebrate the skill and competence of babies and young children and highlights the interrelationship between growth, learning, development and the environment in which they are cared for and educated.
These four ‘Aspects’ are:
A Unique Child: Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.
Positive Relationships: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.
Enabling Environments: The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children's development and learning.
Learning & Development: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and inter-connected.
