Our Curriculum

The Early Years Foundation Stage

The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is how early years professionals in conjunction with the Government define the “formative years” of a child’s life – 0 to 5 years old . Much of this definition is around standards for the care, learning and development of your child. As a registered Ofsted childcare provider, Little Acorns follows the EYFS.

The areas of learning are

  • communication and language
  • physical development
  • personal, social and emotional development
  • literacy
  • mathematics
  • understanding the world
  • expressive arts and design

Little Acorns Nursery ensures that the early years framework is followed at every stage of a child’s development. We lovingly implement the EYFS principles, which ensures that every child is prepared for life when they leave us and start school, so they can reach their fullest potential.

Working closely with the EYFS, parents and providing high quality learning through our dedicated staff, we are confident to provide the right foundation children need to make the most of their abilities and talents as they grow up.

For more information please see our more detailed article about our EYFS curriculum, here.

Our curriculum centres on the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework.
The EYFS sets the standards for learning, development and care for children from birth to the age of 5.
