The Early Years Foundation Stage
The Curriculum at Livingstone Nursery and Reception 
 
The Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stagereferred to above, provides a framework for the learning and development requirements.  This is a complete Curriculum from birth to five years - and it sets out a series of Early Learning Goals which children at the end of the Reception year aim to meet.
 
To help us deliver the EYFS Curriculum here at Livingstone Nursery and Reception, we follow the newly revised (September 2021) document 'Development Matters - the Non-Statutory Curriculum Guidance for the Early Years Foundation Stage'.   This document describes the seven Areas of Learning and Development in detail, but here are its key headings:
 
The Prime Areas of Learning
 
  • Communication and Language; developing speaking and listening skills;
  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development; developing social skills, self-confidence, self-awareness and learning how to manage feeling and behaviour;
  • Physical Development; developing large motor movements such as running, jumping, throwing, catching etc., as well as fine motor movements such as mark-making and writing.  It also includes childrens' development in terms of their health and self-care skills.
 
The Specific Areas of Learning
 
  • Literacy; developing a good understanding of Phonics, Reading and Writing;
  • Maths; developing a good understanding of Number, Mathematical Language, Reasoning, Shape and Space;
  • Understanding of the World; developing childrens' understanding of People and Communities, the World and Technology;
  • Expressive Arts and Design; developing and nurturing children's creative talents through art and music as well as developing their imaginary play skills.
