The EYFS

For all children aged between 9 months to 5 years we follow the EYFS guidelines when setting up provision and assessing the children’s learning and developmental progress.

These guidelines are used to ensure that children are getting the best out of the learning opportunities that we provide in a safe and enriching environment.

The playwork principles

The principles are based on the recognition that children and young people’s capacity for positive development will be enhanced if given access to the broadest range of environments and play opportunities.
