Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS Framework)
Our childcare approach and principles are in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework (EYFS) and underpin everything we do
The 7 areas of the EYFS framework are:
Communication
& Language
I provide a language rich environment aiming to extend their vocabulary base through conversation, role-play, storytelling, and music/song. I encourage the children to reflect at the end of each day by sharing thoughts and ideas.
I schedule the day around the EYFS areas of learning and development by providing spaces, toys and resources that make learning fun!
Ensuring opportunities for both independent and adult-led learning.
Our Core EYFS Principles are:
Unique Child: At Awesome Minds, we believe every child is unique; they deserve the opportunity to learn and develop and to focus on building confidence and self-assurance.
We are committed to quality and consistency in keeping children safe and healthy.
​
Positive Relationships: Parenting & high-quality early learning provide the foundation children need to grow and flourish. While working closely with parents and carers, we provide observation reports on their child’s learning journey. We value and respect all children and families' cultures and communities, providing an environment where they have a sense of belonging, love and contribution. We are receptive and responsive to children’s needs, emotions, and preferences, whilst making boundaries clear.
​
Enabling Environments: Children learn and develop most successfully in the right environment. We provide toys and activities aimed at stimulating and enriching learning through encouraging play and exploration.
