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 Naíolann 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 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. Dá bhrí sin, spreagann baill foirne sa phlandlann cumarsáid shaibhir idir an fhoireann agus na leanaí - agus ó phiaraí go piaraí - ón gcéad lá a théann siad isteach sa phlandlann,en,Fásann scileanna teanga agus cumarsáide go nádúrtha do leanaí trí rannpháirtíocht,en,gníomhaíochtaí spraíúla cosúil le rólghlacadh,en,Cluichí scéalaíochta agus ceisteanna agus freagraí,en,Leabhair ardchaighdeáin agus saibhreas eile,en,léamh,en,Fostaíonn an fhoireann ábhair freisin le léamh le leanaí i,en,idirghníomhach,en,Cabhraíonn úsáid na gcineálacha seo cur chuige seo le páistí foclóir agus gramadach nua a fhoghlaim,en,chun an léitheoireacht agus an tuiscint a fheabhsú agus a gcuid scileanna teanga agus cumarsáide a leathnú gan stró de réir mar a fhásann siad,en,Forbairt fisiciúil,en,Is é an dara ceann de na príomhréimsí de churaclam EYFS-bhunaithe an phlandlainne,en,Ag an aois fhoirmitheach seo,en. 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, Tá na leanaí óga ag fás agus ag forbairt go gasta,en,Mar sin tá a luas forbartha fisiciúil suntasach,en,Sin an fáth go ndéanfaidh foireann naíolainne ag Roxeth gach rud is féidir leo chun an tsláinte is fearr a chinntiú,en,folláine,en,láidreacht,en,comhordú agus folláine i measc na bpáistí ag gach céim,en,Déantar é seo go hincriminteach trí chlár forbartha fisiciúla atá dea-dheartha do gach leanbh aonair,en,Déanann an clár saincheaptha seo breithniú ar a gcumas nádúrtha,en,roghanna agus,en,i ndáiríre,en,aon mhíchumais nó teorainneacha,en,Agus iad ag fás,en,an clár spraoi,en,Cuideoidh gníomhaíochtaí fisiceacha le gach páiste a gcuid féin a bhaint amach le haghaidh tréithe cosúil le folláine,en,cothromaigh,en,comhordú,en,comhordú súl láimhe,en,Feasacht ar Aclaíocht agus Spásúil,en,Ina dhiaidh sin cabhróidh na feabhsuithe fisiciúla seo lena bhfolláine ghinearálta agus lena sonas,en,Is,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, ag gach uair,en,Beidh spraoi ollmhór ag na páistí,en,cairde a dhéanamh agus scileanna sóisialta a fheabhsú,en,féinmhuinín agus níos mó ar an mbealach,en,An duine féin,en,Sóisialta,en,Forbairt mhothúchánach,en,‘PSED’,en,Is é an tríú cuid de na trí phríomhréimse dár gcuraclam,en,an duine féin,en,Tá sé mar aidhm ag cuid de a chinntiú gur féidir le páistí aire a thabhairt do ghnéithe dá saol féin,en,Riachtanais phearsanta cosúil le glaineacht a bhainistiú go neamhspleách,en,Oiliúint Leithris,en,Bia sláintiúil agus mar sin de,en,sóisialta,en,mothúchánach,en,Tá sé mar aidhm ag gnéithe de cabhrú le leanaí teacht isteach le daoine fásta agus le comhghleacaithe timpeall orthu,en,tacú lena chéile,en,mothaíonn siad féin go dtacaíonn daoine eile leo agus go bhfoghlaimíonn siad le chéile mothúcháin a bhainistiú agus iad féin a iompar inghlactha,en,bealaí cuí,en,De réir mar a fhoghlaimíonn siad é seo go léir a dhéanamh,en,Beidh siad níos muiníní,en,braithim luach ceart,en,Faoin am a bhfágann siad ár suíomh luathbhlianta,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, Níos éasca aon choinbhleachtaí a réiteach agus cairdeas níos dlúithe a chruthú le piaraí agus bannaí níos láidre a chruthú leis an bhfoireann,en,Feidhmeoidh sé seo go léir mar bhunús sóisialta agus mothúchánach chun gach rud eile a thógáil air,en,‘Limistéir shonracha’ breise den churaclam,en,Ag rith i gcomhthreo leis an,en,príomhréimsí,en,tá,en,réimsí breise fócais do phlandlanna mar Roxeth,en,a chloíonn leis an gcreat EYFS den scoth dá gcuraclam luathbhlianta,en,is é an chéad cheann de na ceithre réimse fócais eile,en,Bheadh ​​curaclam ann go brónach mura mbeadh leanaí ag teacht le chéile ag deireadh an staidéir,en,Tá an litearthacht fíor -bhunúsach agus tabharfaidh sí an tús is fearr do gach leanbh óg nuair a fhágann siad suíomhanna luathbhlianta chun an scoil a thosú,en,Ar aghaidh é,en,Baineann sé le léamh agus le scríbhneoireacht ar fad,en,ach,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, Cabhróidh an ceart seo le go leor,en,eile,en,réimsí foghlama,en,Ag Roxeth,en,Spreagaimid leanaí naíolainne chun,en,Bain sult as,en,Ón léitheoireacht,en,Tar éis gach rud,en,Chomh luath agus is féidir leo a léamh tuigfidh siad an oiread sin níos mó faoin domhan ó ábhar neamhfhicsin agus an oiread sin níos mó faoi fhéidearthachtaí na samhlaíochta agus na cruthaitheachta ó leabhair ficsin,en,Dá réir sin,en,tá rochtain acu ar leathan,en,Éagsúlacht shaibhir na n -ábhar léitheoireachta,en,Gramadach,en,litriú,en,poncaíocht,en,Beidh foghraíocht agus tuiscint fhoriomlán ar éagsúlacht mhór topaicí ar fad ar láimh le léamh gníomhach agus rialta,en,Ar an mbealach céanna,en,Bainfidh an scríbhneoireacht tairbhe freisin,en,De réir mar a fhoghlaimíonn na páistí an litriú ceart a aithint,en,Comhdhéanamh agus struchtúr pianbhreithe agus mar sin de,en,Cuirfidh nochtadh dár n -éagsúlacht shaibhir leabhar a gcuid samhlaíochta agus cabhróidh siad leo a bheith níos cruthaithí féin,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. We also encourage our children to verbalise, 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 or smaller, wider or taller and more or 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, by the time they leave our early years setting, Beidh na scileanna agus na coincheapa matamaitice riachtanacha a bheidh de dhíth orthu a fhoghlaim chun an talamh a rith nuair a thosaíonn siad ar scoil,en,An domhan a thuiscint,en,Is é an séú réimse fócais atá againn laistigh den churaclam ag Roxeth Nursery,en,Is réimse staidéir an -leathan ach tábhachtach é do na leanaí óga sa phlandlann agus ceann a sheasfaidh go maith leo ag dul ar aghaidh,en,Tá an oiread sin timpeall orthu agus ní mór dóibh é a thuiscint agus gach rud a fheiceann siad a thabhairt comhthéacs,en,Leis sin san áireamh,en,Cabhróimid leo a aithint,en,tuig do,en,Déan cur síos agus fiú uaireanta tarraing na rudaí atá timpeall orthu láithreach,en,Foghlaimeoidh siad freisin faoin teicneolaíocht a fheiceann siad agus a úsáideann siad timpeall orthu,en.
  • 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. Tugann ár ngairdín álainn go leor deiseanna do leanaí foghlaim faoin domhan nádúrtha agus an flóra agus an fauna in aice láimhe,en,Foghlaimeoidh siad freisin faoi phobail eile,en,sa Ríocht Aontaithe agus thar lear araon,en,lena n -áirítear gnéithe cosúil le cultúr,en,creidimh agus reiligiúin,en,Arís,en,bunús den scoth a bheith agat,en,Ag aois chomh luath,en,i dtuiscint an domhain seasfaidh siad go mór iad ag dul ar aghaidh,en,Na healaíona léiritheacha,en,Seift,en,an réimse fócais deiridh laistigh dár gcuraclam LED EYFS,en,Tá sé ar cheann de na réimsí a fhaigheann páistí an spraoi is mó mar tugann sé an tsaoirse dóibh iad féin a chur in iúl,en,a bheith samhlaíoch agus cruthaitheach,en,Agus fiú a bheith míshásta ó am go ham,en,Réimse leathan meán,en,Tá trealamh agus uirlisí ar fáil dóibh ag an naíolann agus spreagann gníomhaíochtaí na páistí chun páirt a ghlacadh agus chun,en,cruthaigh,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. Ní ealaín amháin atá ann,en,bíodh is go,en,Is féidir leis na páistí iad féin a bheith páirteach i ngníomhaíochtaí rólghlactha,en,is féidir leo canadh,en,damhsa,en,Inis scéalta agus déan feidhmiú,en,Is féidir lena samhlaíocht círéib a rith agus a bheith saor in aisce mar is féidir leo iad féin agus a gcruthaitheacht a chur in iúl ar bhealaí éagsúla saibhir,en,Leanaimid an curaclam bunchéime luathbhlianta inár n -naíolann,en,Míníonn na naisc seo na EYFS,en,All-Out-the-Eyfs-Powerpoint-IFUJX6,en,Nó anseo,en,A-treoir-go-do-childs-foghlama-foghlama agus forbairt,en,Tá curaclam LED an EYFS ag Roxeth go mór mór faoi chabhrú leo a bheith ‘réidh leis an scoil’ faoin am a shroicheann siad cúig bliana d'aois,en,Tugann sé leanaí freisin,en,An tús is fearr sa saol,en,go ginearálta,en,Tugtar gach tacaíocht dóibh chun a gcuid is fearr pearsanta féin a chomhlíonadh,en,a gcumas is fearr a bhaint amach i ngach réimse staidéir,en,Trí shocrú spriocanna pearsantaithe,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.
