This educational framework is specified by the UK Government and its implementation is overseen and appraised by Ofsted. It’s down to individual nurseries like Roxeth to implement the framework and we strive to do so in the optimum way. This is all achieved in a stress-free, relaxed way, almost entirely through active play in our Toddler and Pre-school Rooms and in a more structured way in the Kwekery Rooms, ensuring children are ready for transfer to school and the Reception year. This approach makes learning natural — and immense fun!
“Children learn by leading their own play, and by taking part in play which is guided by adults.” (Department for Education).
The EYFS curriculum covers all the critically important areas of learning and development for babies (from birth) up to children aged 5. As such, it’s a perfect fit for children at Roxeth Nursery.
Curriculum Intent – At Roxeth Mead School our vision is to create a school which encourages its children to be successful learners, confident individuals and to achieve personal success. The building blocks of learning, which make up ROXETH are the foundations on which our curriculum is built. Our aim is that these elements run through every lesson, experience and opportunity.
Our curriculum allows / offers:
Respect – activities rooted in respect of others and our surroundings
Opportunity – that is ambitious and creates memorable moments, awe and wonder and joyful experiences for all
eXcellence – in all that we do including quality and attainment
Engaging activities that create enthusiasm and a joy of learning that will last life long
Transferable Skills – cultivating skills that can be applied in a range of contexts
Humour – activities that enable fun and laughter
The 3 Prime Areas of the Curriculum
There are 7 key areas within the early years curriculum. These include 3 ‘prime’ areas which, in turn, interconnect and enhance the remaining four — each helping to improve the other.
- Communication & Language is the first of the three prime areas of our EYFS-based curriculum. Without good communication and language skills, all other areas of learning could suffer, so these are critically important skills for children to master in their early years. Staff at the nursery therefore encourage rich communications between staff and children — and from peer to peer — from the very first day they join the nursery. Language and communication skills grow naturally to children through engaging, fun activities like role-play, story-telling and question-and-answer games. High quality books and other rich reading materials are also employed by staff to read with children in an interactive Using these kind of approaches helps children to learn new vocabulary and grammar, to improve reading and comprehension and to almost effortlessly broaden their language and communication skills as they grow.
- Physical Development is the second of the prime areas of the nursery’s EYFS-based curriculum. At this formative age, die jong kinders groei en ontwikkel vinnig,en,Hulle tempo van hul liggaamlike ontwikkeling is dus beduidend,en,Daarom sal kleuterskoolpersoneel by Roxeth alles in hul vermoë doen om optimale gesondheid te verseker,en,welstand,en,krag,en,koördinasie en fiksheid onder die kinders in elke stadium,en,Dit word alles inkrementeel gedoen deur 'n fisiese ontwikkelingsprogram wat vir elke individuele kind ontwerp is,en,Hierdie pasgemaakte program neem hul natuurlike vermoëns in ag,en,voorkeure en,en,natuurlik,en,enige gestremdhede of beperkings,en,Soos hulle groei,en,die program van pret,en,Fisieke aktiwiteite sal elke kind help om hul eie persoonlike beste vir eienskappe soos fiksheid te bereik,en,balans,en,koördinasie,en,Handoog-koördinasie,en,behendigheid en ruimtelike bewustheid,en,Op sy beurt sal hierdie fisieke verbeterings help met hul algemene welstand en geluk,en,En,en, so their physical development pace is significant. That’s why nursery staff at Roxeth will do everything they can to ensure optimal health, wellbeing, strength, coordination and fitness among the children at every stage. This is all done incrementally through a physical development programme that’s custom-designed for each individual child. This tailored programme takes consideration of their natural abilities, preferences and, of course, any disabilities or limitations. As they grow, the programme of fun, physical activities will help every child to reach their own personal bests for traits like fitness, balance, coordination, hand-eye coordination, agility and spatial awareness. In turn these physical improvements will help with their general wellbeing and happiness. And, ten alle tye,en,Die kinders het geweldige pret gehad,en,vriende te maak en sosiale vaardighede te verbeter,en,selfvertroue en meer langs die pad,en,Persoonlik,en,Sosiaal,en,Emosionele ontwikkeling,en,'PSED',en,is die derde van die drie prima gebiede van ons kurrikulum,en,persoonlik,en,'N Deel daarvan het ten doel om te verseker dat kinders self aspekte van hul lewens kan omsien,en,onafhanklik te bestuur van persoonlike behoeftes soos netheid,en,toiletopleiding,en,gesonde eet en so aan,en,sosiaal,en,emosioneel,en,Aspekte daarvan is daarop gemik om kinders te help om by volwassenes en maats rondom hulle in te pas,en,ondersteun mekaar,en,self voel ondersteun deur ander en leer saam om emosies te bestuur en gedra in aanvaarbare,en,toepaslike maniere,en,Terwyl hulle leer om dit alles te doen,en,Hulle sal meer selfversekerd raak,en,voel tereg gewaardeer,en, the children will have been having immense fun, making friends and improving social skills, self-confidence and more along the way.
- Personal, Social & Emotional Development(‘PSED’) is the third of the three prime areas of our curriculum. The personal part of it aims to ensure that children can look after aspects of their lives themselves, independently managing personal needs like cleanliness, toilet training, healthy eating and so on. The social and emotional aspects of it aim to help children fit in with adults and peers around them, support one another, themselves feel supported by others and together learn to manage emotions and behave in acceptable, appropriate ways. As they learn to do all of this, they will become more confident, feel rightly valued, Los makliker konflikte op en vorm nouer vriendskappe met eweknieë en skep sterker bande met personeel,en,Dit alles sal optree as 'n sosiale en emosionele basis om alles op te bou,en,Bykomende 'spesifieke gebiede' van die kurrikulum,en,Parallel met die,en,Eerste gebiede,en,daar is,en,Bykomende fokusareas vir kwekerye soos Roxeth,en,wat voldoen aan die uitstekende EYFS -raamwerk vir hul kurrikulum in die vroeë jare,en,is die eerste van die oorblywende vier fokusareas,en,Ongelukkig sou 'n kurrikulum ontbreek as kinders nie aan die einde van die studie geletterd is nie,en,Geletterdheid is absoluut fundamenteel en sal elke jong kind die beste begin as hulle die vroeë jare vertrek om met die skool te begin,en,Op die gesig daarvan,en,Dit gaan alles oor lees en skryf,en,Nietemin,en. All of this will act as a social and emotional foundation to build everything else upon.
The 4 Additional ‘Specific Areas’ of the Curriculum
Running in parallel with the 3 prime areas, there are 4 additional areas of focus for nurseries like Roxeth, which adhere to the excellent EYFS framework for their early years curriculum.
- Literacy is the first of the remaining four areas of focus. A curriculum would be sadly lacking if children didn’t end up literate at the end of study. Literacy is absolutely fundamental and will give each young child the very best start when they leave early years settings to start school. On the face of it, it’s all about reading and writing. However, Om dit reg te kry, sal met baie help,en,ander,en,leerareas,en,By Roxeth,en,Ons moedig kleuterskoolkinders aan om,en,Neem genot,en,van lees,en,Na alles,en,Sodra hulle kan lees, sal hulle soveel meer oor die wêreld verstaan van nie-fiksie-materiaal en soveel meer oor die moontlikhede van die verbeelding en kreatiwiteit uit fiksie,en,So,en,Hulle het toegang tot 'n breë,en,ryk verskeidenheid leesmateriaal,en,Grammatika,en,spelling,en,leestekens,en,Fonetiek en algehele begrip van 'n groot verskeidenheid onderwerpe gaan almal hand aan hand met aktiewe en gereelde lees,en,Op 'n soortgelyke manier,en,Skryf sal ook baat vind,en,Terwyl die kinders leer om die regte spelling te herken,en,samestelling en sinstruktuur ensovoorts,en,Blootstelling aan ons ryk verskeidenheid boeke sal hul verbeelding voed en hulle help om self meer kreatief te wees,en other areas of learning. At Roxeth, we encourage nursery children to take enjoyment from reading. After all, once they can read they will understand so much more about the world from non-fiction material and so much more about the possibilities of the imagination and creativity from fiction books. So, they have access to a wide, rich variety of reading materials. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, phonetics and overall comprehension of a huge variety of topics will all go hand-in-hand with active and regular reading. In a similar way, writing will benefit too, as the children learn to recognise the correct spelling, composition and sentence structure and so on. Exposure to our rich variety of books will feed their imaginations and help them to be more creative themselves. Ons moedig ons kinders ook aan om te verbale,en,Byvoorbeeld deur hardop vir hulself en ander op 'n interaktiewe manier te lees,en,Deur dit te doen,en,spraak,en,uitspraak en artikulasie baat ook,en,net soos hul vertroue om te praat,en,is ons vyfde studiegebied binne die Core EYFS -kurrikulum by Roxeth,en,Dit is nog 'n fundamentele vaardigheid wat kinders moet leer, maar,en,Soos met alles by Roxeth,en,Ons maak dit lekker,en,Deur middel van spel en interaktiewe sessies,en,Kinders leer die konsepte agter wiskunde,en,Binnekort leer om dinge soos vreemde en selfs getalle te onderskei,en,getalpatrone en rye,en,konsepte soos,en,groter,en,kleiner,en,wyer,en,langer,en,meer,en,minder,en,Tel sal eers van een tot tien bemeester word,en,dan in omgekeerde,en,dan uitgebrei na,en,of meer,en,Konsepte soos volume,en,vorm,en,Meting en ruimte sal ook ingesluit word,en, for example by reading out loud to themselves and others in an interactive way. By so doing, speech, pronunciation and articulation also benefit, as does their confidence to speak up.
- Mathematics is our fifth area of study within the core EYFS curriculum at Roxeth. It’s another fundamental skill that children need to learn but, as with everything at Roxeth, we make it fun. Through play and interactive sessions, children will learn the concepts behind mathematics, soon learning to distinguish things like odd and even numbers, number patterns and sequences, concepts like larger of smaller, wider of taller and more of less. Counting will first be mastered from one to ten, then in reverse, then extended to 20 or more. Concepts like volume, shape, measuring and space will also be included. So, Teen die tyd dat hulle ons vroeë jare vertrek,en,Hulle sal die nodige wiskundevaardighede en konsepte wat hulle benodig, geleer het om die grond te laat loop as hulle begin skool,en,Die wêreld verstaan,en,is ons sesde sleutelarea van fokus binne die kurrikulum by Roxeth Nursery,en,Dit is 'n baie breë, maar belangrike studiegebied vir die jong kinders by die kwekery en een wat hulle in 'n goeie plek sal hou,en,Daar is soveel rondom hulle en hulle moet dit verstaan en alles gee wat hulle sien konteks,en,Met dit in gedagte,en,Ons sal hulle help om te herken,en,verstaan,en,beskryf en selfs soms teken wat onmiddellik rondom hulle is,en,Hulle sal ook leer oor die tegnologie wat hulle rondom hulle sien en gebruik,en, they’ll have learnt the requisite maths skills and concepts that they’ll need in order to hit the ground running when they start school.
- Understanding the World is our sixth key area of focus within the curriculum at Roxeth Nursery. It’s a very broad but important area of study for the young children at the nursery and one that’ll stand them in good stead going forwards. After all, there is so much around them and they need to understand it and to give everything they see context. With that in mind, we’ll help them to recognise, understand, describe and even sometimes draw what’s immediately around them. They will also learn about the technology they see and use around them. Ons lieflike tuin gee kinders ruim geleentheid om te leer oor die natuurlike wêreld en die flora en fauna in die omgewing,en,Hulle sal ook leer oor ander gemeenskappe,en,beide in die Verenigde Koninkryk en in die buiteland,en,insluitend aspekte soos kultuur,en,oortuigings en godsdienste,en,Weereens,en,'n uitstekende aarding hê,en,op so 'n vroeë ouderdom,en,In die begrip van die wêreld sal hulle in die toekoms in die toekoms staan,en,Ekspressiewe kunste,en,Ontwerp,en,is die finale fokusarea binne ons EYFS LED -kurrikulum,en,Dit is ook een van die gebiede wat kinders die lekkerste vind, want dit gee hulle die vryheid om hulself uit te druk,en,verbeeldingryk en kreatief wees,en,En selfs om van tyd tot tyd morsig te word,en,'N Groot verskeidenheid media,en,Toerusting en gereedskap is beskikbaar by die kwekery en aktiwiteite moedig die kinders aan om betrokke te raak en om,en,skep,en. They will also learn about other communities, both in the UK and abroad, including aspects like culture, beliefs and religions. Once again, having an excellent grounding, at such an early age, in the comprehension of the world will stand them in great stead going forwards.
- Expressive Arts & Design is the final area of focus within our EYFS led curriculum. It’s also one of the areas that children find most fun as it gives them the freedom to express themselves, be imaginative and creative, and even to get messy from time to time. A wide variety of media, equipment and tools are available to them at the nursery and activities encourage the children to get involved and to create. Dit is nie net kuns nie,en,alhoewel,en,Die kinders kan hulself by rolspelaktiwiteite betrek,en,Hulle kan sing,en,dans,en,Vertel stories en tree op,en,Hul verbeelding kan oproerig wees en vry wees, aangesien hulle hulself en hul kreatiwiteit op 'n ryk verskeidenheid maniere kan uitdruk,en,Ons volg die vroeë jare se stigtingstadiumkurrikulum in ons kwekery,en,Of hier,en,A-Guide-to-Your-Childs Learning-and Development,en,Die EYFS LED-kurrikulum by Roxeth is grootliks om hulle te help om 'skoolgereed' te wees teen die tyd van die ouderdom van vyf jaar,en,Dit gee ook kinders,en,Die allerbeste begin in die lewe,en,oor die algemeen,en,Elke ondersteuning word aan hulle gegee om hul eie persoonlike beste te vervul,en,bereik hul optimale potensiaal in elke studiegebied,en,deur persoonlike doelwitstelling,en,Om dit op hierdie manier reg te kry tydens hul vroeë,en,Die meeste vormende jare,en, though; the children can involve themselves in role-play activities, they can sing, dance, tell stories and perform. Their imaginations can run riot and be free as they can express themselves and their creativity in a rich variety of ways.
Curriculum Implementation – Staff plan and develop activities that build on prior learning. Progress from week to week, term to term and year to year should be clear and children should be able to talk about their learning in an age appropriate way. We follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum in our Nursery, Pre-School and Reception classes.
