Nursery is part of the EYFS and follows the EYFS curriculum. There are 7 areas of learning, which children develop through a balance of focused tasks alongside an adult, and independent learning with the areas of provision. The seven areas of learning are made up of the prime areas of learning, which the children develop first, which then underpin the specific areas of learning.
Prime Areas:
Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Communication and Language, Physical Development
Specific Areas:
Literacy, Maths, Understand the World, Expressive Arts and Design
