Curriculum
Laying the foundations for our children to be confident, respectful and to achieve their potential.
Curriculum
Our curriculum, which complies with the Government’s statutory Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum
The Five Outcomes are as follows:
Being healthy
Making a positive contribution
Enjoy and achieve
Stay safe
Achieve economic well-being
The EYFS framework explains how and what your child will be learning to support their healthy development.
Your child will be learning skills, acquiring new knowledge and demonstrating their understanding through 7 areas of learning and development.
Children should mostly develop the 3 prime areas first. These are:
Communication and Language
Physical Development
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
These prime areas are those most essential for your child’s healthy development and future learning.
As children grow, the prime areas will help them to develop skills in 4 specific areas. These are:
Literacy
Mathematics
Understanding the World
Expressive Arts and Design
These 7 areas are used to plan your child’s learning and activities. At Ducklings, we make sure that the activities are suited to your child’s unique needs. This is a little bit like a school’s curriculum, but it’s suitable for very young children, and is designed to be really flexible so that we can follow your child’s unique needs and interests.
Duckling’s children are learning by playing and exploring, being active, and through creative and critical thinking which takes place both indoors and outside.
