The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) at Bryanston Prep
Our Nursery and Reception classes give the youngest pupils a memorable and positive start to their educational journey.
It is an active, stimulating and happy environment which enables our children to be confident, independent and highly motivated learners.
The EYFS covers the areas of learning for children from Nursery through to the end of Reception. There are seven interconnected areas of learning and development within the EYFS, three prime and four specific.
The three prime areas which are fundamental to a child’s development are Communication and Language, Physical Development and Personal, Social and Emotional Development. The four Specific Areas which include essential skills and knowledge are Literacy, Mathematics, Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design.
The Nursery and Reception curriculum is designed to encompass all of these areas of learning. Staff support and extend each child’s development through carefully planned play-based activities and experiences, building on a child’s curiosity, their interests and encouraging exploration both indoors and outdoors.
