# EYFS

## Welcome to Early Years!

**We are a happy, 68 place Nursery for 2-4 year old children.  Our EYFS is well resourced and benefits from a large, fenced outdoor space as well as spacious indoor learning areas.  We are very proud of our caring and nurturing environment. Mrs Howe is our EYFS lead  and Nursery Teacher, alongside her in Nursery is Mrs Robson and Mrs Foreman who works in the 3-4 year old room and Mrs Jones and Mrs McCamely who work in the 2 year old room. In Reception Class we have Mrs Howe who is the teacher and Mrs Elrick who is a teaching assistant.**

In Nursery and Reception we follow the Early Years Adopters Framework which was published in September 2021.  The Framework specifies the requirement for learning and development in Early Years and provides specific areas for learning which we cover as part of our curriculum.

**These areas are:**

- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Physical Development
- Communication and Language Development
- Literacy
- Mathematics
- Understanding the World
- Expressive Art and Design
