The early years foundation stage

The Foundation Stage covers our Nursery (Foundation Stage 1 – Caterpillars and Butterflies) and Reception Class (Foundation Stage 2). The curriculum is organised into seven areas of learning; three prime areas and four specific areas:

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development (Prime Area)
  • Communication and Language (Prime Area)
  • Physical Development (Prime Area)
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding of the World
  • Expressive Arts and Design

Progress in each of these areas is measured against the early learning goals. It is recorded in the Foundation Stage Profile and used to inform parents.
