Learning through play

Here at ABC 123 Daycare we observe our key children, following the structure and curriculum of the EYFS to gain an  understanding of how they develop and the style in which they learn. From these  observations we are able to tailor our provision and the activities we offer  for each individual child’s stage and needs. Through this we strive for every  child to achieve their full potential and beyond, gaining the most from the  time they spend with us.

We cover the six learning areas of development of the early year’s foundation stage which are:

  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Communication, language and literacy
  • Problem Solving, Reasoning & Numeracy
  • Knowledge and understanding of the world
  • Physical Development
  • Creative Development

We value parents input in their child’s learning and share interests that the children have with us, understanding the importance of home and setting links. We hold parents evenings throughout the year to share each child’s learning and discuss possible next steps working
together.

 

We have a range of resources and activities available to the children all day every day throughout the different rooms for them to explore.

 

Tactile play includes – Sand, water, clay, play dough, salt, corn flour gloop, pasta, lintels, flour, sugar, cereal, beans, mud, shaving foam and exploring objects from the natural environment.
