From birth to 5 years old any setting your child attends will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) to support your child’s natural development and enhance their learning. 

The EYFS has four key themes:A Unique Child- Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Positive Relationships - Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and  secure relationships with parents and/or a key person.

Enabling Environments - The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.

Learning And Development - Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and interconnected.Early learning is the key to

your child’s future and families

make the greatest difference

at this stage.Tapestry

Hand-out and Example

Enjoying and sharing books Experience shows that children benefit hugely by exposure to books from an early age. Right from the start, lots of opportunities should be provided for children to engage with books that fire their imagination and interest. They should be encouraged to choose and peruse books freely as well as sharing them when read by an adult. Enjoying and sharing books leads to children seeing them as a source of pleasure and interest and motivates them to value reading.
