Play & Learning
We go on regular field trips and also invite guests to talk to the children and also entertain them. At CESK, we follow the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). The Early Years Foundation Stage became mandatory (compulsory) in September 2008 in the United KingdomThis new framework ensures a consistent approach to care, learning and development from birth to the end of the foundation stage. It is an integrated approach to care and education under pinned by a play-based approach. It builds on the curriculum guidance for the Foundation Stage, the Birth to three matters Framework and the National Standards for Under Eights Day Care and Childminding, all of which have been amalgamated into the one document becoming the Early Years Foundation Stage.The EYFS aims to help young children achieve the five outcomes of staying safe, being healthy, enjoying & achieving, making a positive contribution and achieving economic well-being (Every Child Matters) The EYFS has four themes: A Unique Child, Positive Relationships, Enabling Environments and Learning and Development. These four themes express important principles underpinning effective practice in the care, development and learning of young children. Each Principle is supported by four commitments which describe how the principle can be put into practice. A Unique Child Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured. 1.1 Child Development 1.2 Inclusive Practice 1.3 Keeping Safe 1.4 Health and Well-being Positive Relationships Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a key person. 2.1 Respecting Each Other 2.2 Parents as Partners 2.3 Supporting Learning 2.4 Key Person Enabling Environments The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning. 3.1 Observation, Assessment and Planning 3.2 Supporting Every Child 3.3 The Learning Environment 3.4 The Wider Context Learning and 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. 4.1 Play and Exploration 4.2 Active Learning 4.3 Creativity and Critical Thinking 4.4 Areas of Learning and Development
