The Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum is a statutory document outlining the welfare requirements and learning and development experiences for all children under five, against which all registered settings are inspected. Your child’s key person will use this documentation to record, plan and assess your child’s learning and development whilst in the nursery. The nursery use ‘sing & sign’ throughout the nursery and have DVDs to loan parents and carers to learn and practice at home.
