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 Kitalu Rooms, ensuring children are ready for transfer to school and the Reception year. This approach makes learning natural — and immense fun!

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. Bila mawasiliano mazuri na ustadi wa lugha,en,Maeneo mengine yote ya kujifunza yanaweza kuteseka,en,Kwa hivyo hizi ni ujuzi muhimu sana kwa watoto kujua katika miaka yao ya mapema,en,Wafanyikazi kwenye kitalu kwa hivyo wanahimiza mawasiliano tajiri kati ya wafanyikazi na watoto - na kutoka kwa rika hadi rika - kutoka siku ya kwanza wanajiunga na kitalu,en,Ujuzi wa lugha na mawasiliano hukua kawaida kwa watoto kupitia kujihusisha,en,Shughuli za kufurahisha kama jukumu la kucheza,en,Hadithi za hadithi na michezo ya maswali na majibu,en,Vitabu vya hali ya juu na matajiri mengine,en,Kusoma,en,Vifaa pia huajiriwa na wafanyikazi kusoma na watoto katika,en,Maingiliano,en,Kutumia njia za aina hii husaidia watoto kujifunza msamiati mpya na sarufi,en, 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, Kuboresha kusoma na ufahamu na karibu kupanua kwa nguvu lugha zao na ustadi wa mawasiliano wanapokua,en,Ukuaji wa mwili,en,ni ya pili ya maeneo ya msingi ya mtaala wa msingi wa EYFS wa kitalu,en,Katika umri huu wa kawaida,en,Watoto wadogo wanakua na wanakua haraka,en,Kwa hivyo kasi yao ya ukuaji wa mwili ni muhimu,en,Ndio sababu wafanyikazi wa kitalu huko Roxeth watafanya kila wawezalo kuhakikisha afya bora,en,ustawi,en,nguvu,en,Uratibu na usawa kati ya watoto katika kila hatua,en,Hii yote inafanywa kwa kuongeza kupitia mpango wa ukuzaji wa mwili ambao umeundwa kwa kila mtoto mmoja mmoja,en,Programu hii iliyoundwa inazingatia uwezo wao wa asili,en,upendeleo na,en,Kwa kweli,en,ulemavu wowote au mapungufu,en,Wanapokua,en,mpango wa kufurahisha,en.
  • Physical Development is the second of the prime areas of the nursery’s EYFS-based curriculum. At this formative age, the young children are growing and developing rapidly, 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, Shughuli za mwili zitasaidia kila mtoto kufikia viwango vyao vya kibinafsi kwa sifa kama usawa,en,usawa,en,uratibu,en,Uratibu wa macho,en,Uwezo na ufahamu wa anga,en,Kwa upande wake maboresho haya ya mwili yatasaidia na ustawi wao wa jumla na furaha,en,Na,en,Wakati wote,en,Watoto watakuwa wamefurahiya sana,en,Kufanya marafiki na kuboresha ujuzi wa kijamii,en,Kujiamini na zaidi njiani,en,Binafsi,en,Jamii,en,Maendeleo ya kihemko,en,'PSED',en,ni ya tatu ya maeneo matatu kuu ya mtaala wetu,en,Binafsi,en,Sehemu yake inakusudia kuhakikisha kuwa watoto wanaweza kutunza nyanja za maisha yao wenyewe,en,Kusimamia mahitaji ya kibinafsi kama usafi,en,Mafunzo ya choo,en,kula kiafya na kadhalika,en,Jamii,en,mhemko,en,Vipengele vyake vinalenga kusaidia watoto kuendana na watu wazima na wenzao karibu nao,en,Kusaidiana,en, balance, coordination, hand-eye coordination, agility and spatial awareness. In turn these physical improvements will help with their general wellbeing and happiness. And, at all times, 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, wenyewe wanahisi kuungwa mkono na wengine na kwa pamoja hujifunza kusimamia hisia na kuishi kwa kukubalika,en,njia zinazofaa,en,Wanapojifunza kufanya haya yote,en,Watakuwa na ujasiri zaidi,en,jisikie kuthaminiwa,en,Kutatua kwa urahisi mizozo yoyote na kuunda urafiki wa karibu na wenzao na uunda vifungo vikali na wafanyikazi,en,Yote hii itafanya kama msingi wa kijamii na kihemko kujenga kila kitu kingine,en,Sehemu maalum za 'maeneo maalum' ya mtaala,en,Kukimbia sambamba na,en,Maeneo ya Waziri Mkuu,en,kuna,en,Maeneo ya ziada ya kuzingatia kwa vitalu kama Roxeth,en,ambayo hufuata mfumo bora wa EYFS kwa mtaala wao wa miaka ya mapema,en,ni ya kwanza ya maeneo manne ya kuzingatia,en,Mtaala ungekuwa ukipungua kwa kusikitisha ikiwa watoto hawatamaliza kusoma na kuandika mwishoni mwa masomo,en, appropriate ways. As they learn to do all of this, they will become more confident, feel rightly valued, more easily resolve any conflicts and form closer friendships with peers and create stronger bonds with staff. 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. Kujua kusoma na kuandika ni ya msingi kabisa na itampa kila mtoto mchanga mwanzo bora wakati wanaondoka mipangilio ya miaka ya mapema kuanza shule,en,Juu ya uso wake,en,Yote ni juu ya kusoma na kuandika,en,Walakini,en,Kupata haki hizi zitasaidia na wengi,en,Nyingine,en,maeneo ya kujifunza,en,Huko Roxeth,en,Tunawahimiza watoto wa kitalu,en,Chukua starehe,en,kutoka kusoma,en,Baada ya yote,en,Mara tu watakaposoma wataelewa mengi zaidi juu ya ulimwengu kutoka kwa nyenzo zisizo za uwongo na mengi zaidi juu ya uwezekano wa mawazo na ubunifu kutoka kwa vitabu vya uwongo,en,Kwa hivyo,en,Wanaweza kupata upana,en,Aina tajiri za vifaa vya kusoma,en,Sarufi,en,spelling,en,Uandishi,en,Fonetiki na uelewa wa jumla wa mada kubwa zote zitaenda sanjari na usomaji wa kawaida na wa kawaida,en,Kwa njia ile ile,en,Kuandika kutafaidika pia,en. 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, Wakati watoto wanajifunza kutambua herufi sahihi,en,muundo na muundo wa sentensi na kadhalika,en,Mfiduo wa anuwai ya vitabu vyetu vitalisha mawazo yao na kuwasaidia kuwa wabunifu zaidi wenyewe,en,Tunawahimiza pia watoto wetu kwa maneno,en,Kwa mfano kwa kusoma kwa sauti kwao na wengine kwa njia ya maingiliano,en,Kwa kufanya hivyo,en,hotuba,en,Matamshi na ufafanuzi pia hufaidika,en,Kama vile ujasiri wao wa kuongea,en,ni eneo letu la tano la kusoma ndani ya mtaala wa msingi wa EYFS huko Roxeth,en,Ni ustadi mwingine wa kimsingi ambao watoto wanahitaji kujifunza lakini,en,Kama ilivyo kwa kila kitu huko Roxeth,en,Tunafanya iwe ya kufurahisha,en,Kupitia vikao vya kucheza na maingiliano,en,Watoto watajifunza dhana nyuma ya hisabati,en,hivi karibuni kujifunza kutofautisha vitu kama isiyo ya kawaida na hata nambari,en,Mifumo ya nambari na mlolongo,en, 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, dhana kama,en,kubwa,en,ndogo,en,pana,en,mrefu,en,Zaidi,en,kidogo,en,Kuhesabu kwanza kutafanywa kutoka kwa moja hadi kumi,en,kisha kwa kurudi nyuma,en,kisha kupanuliwa kwa,en,au zaidi,en,Dhana kama kiasi,en,sura,en,Kupima na nafasi pia itajumuishwa,en,Kufikia wakati wataacha miaka yetu ya mapema,en,Wamejifunza ustadi na dhana zinazohitajika za hesabu ambazo watahitaji ili kugonga chini wakati wanaanza shule,en,Kuelewa ulimwengu,en,ni eneo letu la sita la kuzingatia ndani ya mtaala huko Roxeth Nursery,en,Ni eneo pana lakini muhimu sana la kusoma kwa watoto wadogo kwenye kitalu na ambacho kitasimama kwa muda mzuri kwenda mbele,en,kuna mengi karibu nao na wanahitaji kuielewa na kutoa kila kitu wanachoona muktadha,en,Kwa kuzingatia hilo,en 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, 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, Tutawasaidia kutambua,en,kuelewa,en,Eleza na hata wakati mwingine huchota kile kinachowazunguka mara moja,en,Pia watajifunza juu ya teknolojia wanayoona na kutumia karibu nao,en,Bustani yetu ya kupendeza inawapa watoto nafasi kubwa ya kujifunza juu ya ulimwengu wa asili na mimea na wanyama karibu,en,Pia watajifunza juu ya jamii zingine,en,Wote huko Uingereza na nje ya nchi,en,pamoja na mambo kama tamaduni,en,imani na dini,en,Tena,en,kuwa na msingi bora,en,Katika umri mdogo kama huo,en,Katika uelewa wa ulimwengu utawasimamia kwa nguvu sana kwenda mbele,en,Sanaa ya kuelezea,en,Ubunifu,en,ni eneo la mwisho la kuzingatia ndani ya mtaala wetu wa LED wa EYFS,en,Pia ni moja wapo ya maeneo ambayo watoto hupata raha zaidi kwani inawapa uhuru wa kujielezea,en,Kuwa wa kufikiria na ubunifu,en, understand, describe and even sometimes draw what’s immediately around them. They will also learn about the technology they see and use around them. Our lovely garden gives children ample opportunity to learn about the natural world and the flora and fauna nearby. 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, Na hata kupata fujo mara kwa mara,en,Anuwai ya media,en,Vifaa na zana zinapatikana kwao kwenye kitalu na shughuli zinahimiza watoto kuhusika na,en,Unda,en,Sio sanaa tu,en,ingawa,en,Watoto wanaweza kujihusisha na shughuli za kucheza,en,Wanaweza kuimba,en,Ngoma,en,Eleza hadithi na ufanye,en,Mawazo yao yanaweza kuendesha ghasia na kuwa huru kwani wanaweza kujielezea na ubunifu wao kwa njia tajiri,en,Tunafuata mtaala wa hatua ya msingi wa miaka ya mapema katika kitalu chetu,en,Tumeunda mtaala unaoendelea ulioainishwa hapa,en,Mtaala wa maendeleo wa Roxeth,en,Viunga hivi vinaelezea EYFS,en,T-PAR-590-A-Wazazi-Mwongozo-kwa-Statutory-Framework-for-the-mapema-miaka-Foundation-Stage_ver_2,en,All-About-the-EYFS-Powerpoint-Ifujx6,en,_Dfe_development_matters_report_and_illustrations_web__2_,en. 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. It’s not just art, 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.

Curriculum Impact – The impact of our curriculum shows in the outcomes of the pupils. They achieve highly for their age and show confidence and self-control in their social skills. They are eager to learn and have Cultural Capital ensuring they are well prepared for their next stage of education.

The EYFS led curriculum at Roxeth is in large part about helping them to be ‘school-ready’ by the time they reach the age of five. However, it also gives children the very best start in life generally. Every support is given to them to fulfil their own personal bests, reaching their optimum potential in every area of study, through personalised goal-setting. Getting it right in this way during their early, most formative years, is proven to vastly improve outcomes and life chances. So, it’s an incredibly powerful and important approach to their early years education. In a nutshell, it helps every child at Roxeth to absolutely thrive.
