Day Care Nursery in Hampshire

All of our nurseries in England are registered and inspected in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. The EYFS is a stage of children’s development from birth to the end of their first (Reception) year in school. The EYFS Framework describes how early years practitioners should work with children and their families to support their development and learning. It describes how your child should be kept safe and cared for and how all concerned can make sure that your child achieves the most possible.

The EYFS is based on four important Themes expressing important Principles...

Theme: A Unique Child

Principle: Every child is a competent learner from birth who can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

Theme: Positive Relationships

Principle: Children learn to be strong and independent from a base of loving and secure relationships with parents and/or a Key Person.

Theme: Enabling Environments

Principle: The environment plays a key role in supporting and extending children’s development and learning.

Theme: Learning and Development

Principle: Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates and all areas of Learning and Development are equally important and interconnected.

The EYFS requirements include 6 key areas of children’s learning and development.

  • Personal, Social and Emotional Development
  • Communication, Language and Literacy
  • Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
  • Knowledge and Understanding of the World
  • Physical Development
  • Creative Development

All of our nurseries meet these requirements through a rich play based framework for learning and development where there is a balance of child initiated activities and planned adult guided learning and teaching.

Our staff will be happy to provide you with more information about the EYFS. Arrange a visit to your local Bright Horizons nursery to find out how we use these requirements as a starting point for providing the highest quality early care and education in the world.
