What Is The EYFS Framework?
The Early Years Foundation Stage framework is the UK Government framework that guides learning, development, and care for children from birth to five years old.
The EYFS framework focuses on supporting children through seven key areas of learning:
- Communication and language
- Physical development
- Personal, social and emotional development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the world
- Expressive arts and design
At The Alphabet Pre-School, our daily activities and learning experiences are planned around these areas to help children develop naturally while building confidence and independence.
Parents can learn more about the EYFS framework through the UK Government guidance.
Supporting Learning Through Play
Play-based learning is an important part of early years development. Through guided activities and child-led exploration, children learn new skills while remaining engaged and confident within their environment.
Our EYFS activities encourage children to:
- Explore creatively
- Build communication skills
- Develop confidence socially
- Improve coordination and movement
- Learn through problem-solving
- Build independence gradually
Children are encouraged to learn at their own pace while receiving support from our experienced team throughout the day.
