Early Years Framework

The curriculum at Roxeth Mead adheres to the Early Years Foundation Stage (‘EYFS’) framework. 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 Berçário 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).

O currículo do EYFS abrange todas as áreas criticamente importantes do aprendizado e desenvolvimento para bebês,en,do nascimento,en,até crianças envelhecidas,en,Como tal,en,É um ajuste perfeito para crianças no berçário de Roxeth,en,O,en,Áreas primárias do currículo,en,áreas -chave no currículo dos primeiros anos,en,Esses incluem,en,Áreas "primárias" que,en,por sua vez,en,interconectar e aprimorar os quatro restantes - cada um ajudando a melhorar o outro,en,Comunicação,en,Linguagem,en,é o primeiro das três áreas principais do nosso currículo à base de eyfs,en,Sem boas habilidades de comunicação e linguagem,en,Todas as outras áreas de aprendizado podem sofrer,en,Portanto, essas são habilidades extremamente importantes para as crianças dominarem em seus primeiros anos,en (from birth) up to children aged 5. As such, it’s a perfect fit for children at Roxeth Nursery.

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. Os funcionários do berçário, portanto, incentivam as ricas comunicações entre funcionários e crianças - e de colegas para colegas - desde o primeiro dia em que se juntam ao berçário,en,As habilidades de idioma e comunicação crescem naturalmente para as crianças através do envolvimento,en,atividades divertidas como role-play,en,Iniciar jogos de histórias e perguntas e respostas,en,Livros de alta qualidade e outros ricos,en,leitura,en,Os materiais também são empregados pela equipe para ler com crianças em um,en,interativo,en,Usar esse tipo de abordagem ajuda as crianças a aprender novo vocabulário e gramática,en,Para melhorar a leitura e a compreensão e quase sem esforço, ampliando suas habilidades de idioma e comunicação à medida que crescem,en,Desenvolvimento físico,en,é a segunda das principais áreas do currículo baseado em EYFS do berçário,en,Nesta idade formativa,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, As crianças estão crescendo e se desenvolvendo rapidamente,en,Portanto, seu ritmo de desenvolvimento físico é significativo,en,É por isso que a equipe do berçário da Roxeth fará tudo o que puder para garantir a saúde ideal,en,bem -estar,en,força,en,coordenação e aptidão entre as crianças em todas as etapas,en,Tudo isso é feito de forma incremental por meio de um programa de desenvolvimento físico que é projetado para cada criança,en,Este programa personalizado considera suas habilidades naturais,en,Preferências e,en,claro,en,quaisquer deficiências ou limitações,en,À medida que eles crescem,en,o programa de diversão,en,Atividades físicas ajudarão todas as crianças a alcançarem seus próprios bests pessoais para características como fitness,en,equilíbrio,en,coordenação,en,Coordenação olho-mão,en,agilidade e consciência espacial,en,Por sua vez, essas melhorias físicas ajudarão com seu bem -estar e felicidade geral,en,E,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, todos os momentos,en,as crianças terão se divertindo imenso,en,Fazendo amigos e melhorando as habilidades sociais,en,autoconfiança e muito mais ao longo do caminho,en,Pessoal,en,Social,en,Desenvolvimento emocional,en,"PSED",en,é o terceiro das três áreas principais do nosso currículo,en,pessoal,en,Parte dele pretende garantir que as crianças possam cuidar de aspectos de suas próprias vidas,en,Gerenciando independentemente as necessidades pessoais como limpeza,en,Treinamento do banheiro,en,alimentação saudável e assim por diante,en,social,en,emocional,en,aspectos dele visam ajudar as crianças a se encaixarem em adultos e colegas ao redor deles,en,Apoie um ao outro,en,eles se sentem apoiados pelos outros e juntos aprendem a gerenciar emoções e se comportar em aceitável,en,maneiras apropriadas,en,Enquanto eles aprendem a fazer tudo isso,en,Eles se tornarão mais confiantes,en,sinta -se corretamente valorizado,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, Resolva mais facilmente quaisquer conflitos e forme amizades mais próximas com colegas e crie laços mais fortes com a equipe,en,Tudo isso atuará como uma base social e emocional para construir todo o resto,en,"Áreas específicas" adicionais do currículo,en,Correndo em paralelo com o,en,áreas primárias,en,há,en,áreas de foco adicionais para viveiros como Roxeth,en,que aderem à excelente estrutura EYFS para o currículo dos primeiros anos,en,é o primeiro das quatro áreas de foco restantes,en,Infelizmente, um currículo estaria faltando se as crianças não acabassem alfabetizadas no final do estudo,en,A alfabetização é absolutamente fundamental e dará a cada criança o melhor começo quando deixar as configurações dos primeiros anos para começar a escola,en,Em face disso,en,É tudo sobre ler e escrever,en,No entanto,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, getting these right will help with many 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. Também incentivamos nossos filhos a verbalizar,en,por exemplo, lendo em voz alta para si e para os outros de uma maneira interativa,en,Ao fazê-lo,en,discurso,en,pronúncia e articulação também se beneficiam,en,assim como a confiança deles para falar,en,é a nossa quinta área de estudo dentro do currículo Core EYFS em Roxeth,en,É outra habilidade fundamental que as crianças precisam aprender, mas,en,Como com tudo em Roxeth,en,Nós tornamos divertido,en,Através do jogo e sessões interativas,en,As crianças aprenderão os conceitos por trás da matemática,en,Logo aprendendo a distinguir coisas como números estranhos e uniformes,en,padrões e seqüências numéricas,en,conceitos como,en,maior,en,menor,en,mais amplo,en,mais alto,en,mais,en,menos,en,A contagem será primeiro dominada de um a dez,en,então em inverso,en,então estendido a,en,ou mais,en,Conceitos como volume,en,forma,en,medição e espaço também serão incluídos,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 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, Quando eles saem de nossos primeiros anos,en,Eles aprenderam as habilidades e conceitos de matemática necessários que precisam para acertar o chão quando começarem a escola,en,Compreendendo o mundo,en,é a nossa sexta área de foco principal dentro do currículo do berçário de Roxeth,en,É uma área de estudo muito ampla, mas importante, para as crianças pequenas do berçário e que as permanecerá em boa posição avançando,en,Há muito ao seu redor e eles precisam entender e dar tudo o que vêem o contexto,en,Com aquilo em mente,en,Vamos ajudá -los a reconhecer,en,entender,en,Descreva e até às vezes desenhe o que está imediatamente ao seu redor,en,Eles também aprenderão sobre a tecnologia que veem e usam ao seu redor,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. Nosso adorável jardim dá às crianças uma ampla oportunidade de aprender sobre o mundo natural e a flora e a fauna nas proximidades,en,Eles também aprenderão sobre outras comunidades,en,tanto no Reino Unido quanto no exterior,en,incluindo aspectos como cultura,en,crenças e religiões,en,Outra vez,en,tendo um excelente aterramento,en,em uma idade tão precoce,en,Na compreensão do mundo, os manterá em grande posição avançando,en,Artes expressivas,en,Projeto,en,é a área final de foco dentro do nosso currículo LED EYFS,en,É também uma das áreas que as crianças acham muito divertidas, pois lhes dá a liberdade de se expressar,en,seja imaginativo e criativo,en,E mesmo para ficar bagunçado de vez em quando,en,Uma grande variedade de mídia,en,Equipamentos e ferramentas estão disponíveis para eles no viveiro e atividades incentivam as crianças a se envolverem e a,en,criar,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. Não é apenas arte,en,no entanto,en,As crianças podem se envolver em atividades de dramatização,en,Eles podem cantar,en,dança,en,contar histórias e executar,en,Suas imaginações podem correr tumultos e ser livres, pois podem se expressar e sua criatividade de uma rica variedade de maneiras,en,Seguimos o currículo de palco da Foundation Early Years em nosso berçário,en,Esses links explicam os EYFs,en,All-O-O-Eyfs-PowerPoint-ifujx6,en,Ou aqui,en,A-Guide-T-Your-Childs-Learning e Desenvolvimento,en,O currículo liderado pela EYFS em Roxeth é em grande parte sobre ajudá-los a estar "pronto para a escola" quando atingem os cinco anos de idade,en,também dá filhos,en,O melhor começo na vida,en,geralmente,en,Todo apoio é dado a eles para cumprir seus próprios melhores,en,atingindo seu potencial ideal em todas as áreas de estudo,en,através de definição de metas personalizadas,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.
