Learning and Development
children develop and learn in different ways and at different times; all
areas
of learning and development are equally important and inter-connected.
There are three prime areas of learning in which our Early Years Professionals support children to
learn and develop. These are:
Personal, social and emotional development
Communication and language
Physical development
The principles which guide the work of our Early Years Professionals are grouped into three themes:
Positive Relationships
children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or key person
Enabling Environments
the environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning
A unique child
every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self assured
Curriculum
Key Person System: Each child has their own key person to enable them to feel reassured, safe and cared for within our setting. This person also keeps a detailed Learning Journey of the child’s progress during their time with us. These records are available to be viewed and discussed at any time by parents, who are always encouraged to add details of their child’s experiences from outside the nursery. This enables us to identify with your child’s learning requirements to ensure the most stimulating activities and effective learning goals are in place for each individual child.
A special time to share thoughts and ideas, providing an inclusive social activity for children to connect with their emotions, learning to express themselves with confidence and creativity. Within this time children will explore areas of self awareness and empathy, creating a respectful and caring ethos towards others, also learning retention ability and listening skills.
An enchanting journey through the imagination, an opportunity for children to explore their creative minds. Story time enhances early literacy skills and phonological awareness, whilst developing speech and language skills. Combining auditory with visual mediums, such as books, pictures and props; encourages children to connect with their active imaginations. Introductions of role play through interactive storytelling enhances communication skills and self confidence.
A fun time for children to enjoy learning through making a mess! Playing with a variety of different materials with the aim of developing sensory awareness, coordination and fine motor skills. Exploration of shapes, textures, sounds and smells encourages a better knowledge and understanding of the surrounding world and it’s defining properties. It also promotes freedom of play, enhancing imagination and creative expression.
Encouraging children to freely explore the surrounding world contributes significantly towards their cognitive, social and emotional development. It enhances physical dexterity and coordination, whilst supporting creativity and imagination. Interactions with other children teach a capacity to adapt ideas through cooperative play, developing their decision making skills and the ability to share. Freedom of expression also allows a child time for self discovery and identification of interests, allowing them to engage in the passions they wish to pursue.
