Curriculum

At George’s Preschool, we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, which outlines expectations for children’s learning and development. The EYFS has 7 areas of learning, these are:
Three Prime Areas: • Personal, Social and Emotional development. • Physical Development. • Communication, Language.
Four Specific Areas: • Literacy • Mathematics • Understanding the World • Expressive Arts and Design

To ensure the children are achieving in their 7 areas of learning, the curriculum we implement in our nursery is the Development Matters. Below is a link to the development matters guidance, which outlines what the children will be learning at different stages in their early years.
Development Matters – Non-statutory curriculum guidance for the early years foundation stage

We implement a range of schemes/activities at George’s Preschool, that promote these 7 areas of learning. These include Forest school, Playing and learning to socialise (PALS), Building blocks, a box full of feelings, physical literacy, etc. A new project we are implementing is Think equal. For more information on any of these activities, please feel free ask a member of staff when you visit the nursery.

We record your child’s learning on an electronic platform. As a parent you will be able to download an app, so you have your child’s learning journey available to you when ever you would like to view your child’s photos and videos, of what they have been doing at nursery.
