Our curriculum is structured using the EYFS framework for children aged 0-5 years.
The EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) has 6 areas of learning, focusing on helping children grow in confidence and
child development.

also.

skills.

their peers and adults by expressing themselves, (i.e) by pointing, talking, crying and smiling.

basis of literacy and so it is important that the children receive the right support at an early age.
