Our curriculum is delivered through a play based approach that is designed to provide children with a great start in their education. We encourage independence and self belief and follow the interests of our children to support their learning. We also use events that are going on in the world around us to provide stimulating and context based learning.
Children learn through whole class teaching, small group teaching and through continuous provision. Continuous Provision in Indian Queens EYFS is where children have access to high quality, well organised resources which allows the time, space and opportunity to practise skills that have been taught. Continuous provision time, which we call “Busy Learning”, allows children to problem solve, develop communication skills and learn to build strong relationships to make their own choices and become independent learners. Enhancements and provocations for learning are added to the environment to support the teaching of topic based learning and to follow the interests of individual children.
We understand and appreciate the importance of the outdoor environment for our children. It is a continuation of our indoor provision and it will be used at every opportunity. At Indian Queens School and Nursery, we provide our children with opportunities to deepen their imaginations and also their sense of curiosity. We want the children to feel safe and secure at all times and ensure that our safeguarding procedures are rigorous and kept up to date. Communication is important to us and we greatly value the relationship that we develop with parents throughout this vital year
The EYFS framework sets the standards to make sure that children aged from birth to 5 learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe.
The document below sets out the standards that all Early Years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. It promotes teaching and learning to ensure children’s ‘school readiness’ and gives children the broad range of knowledge and skills that provide the right foundation for good future progress through school and life.
Children learn in a variety of ways to address the following areas of learning.
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication and Language
- Physical Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Arts and Design
The Early Years Foundation Stage Seeks to provide:
- Quality and consistency in all early years settings, so that every child makes good progress and no child gets left behind.
- A secure foundation through learning and development opportunities which are planned around the needs and interests of each individual child and are assessed and reviewed regularly.
- A partnership working between practitioners and with parents and carers.
- Equality of opportunity and anti-discriminatory practice, ensuring that every child is included and supported.
