The Early Years Foundation Stage  (EYFS)  is organised into six areas of learning and development and they are described briefly below:-

• Personal, Social and Emotional Development

This area relates to the child’s self confidence and independence skills whilst the child learns to concentrate and enjoy sharing as part of a group.

Celebrating birthdays is fun at BarBar

• Communication, Language and Literacy

This area is a vast one whereby children learn to communicate with their peers, and develop skills of listening, reading and writing.

• Problem Solving Reasoning and Numeracy.

This area relates to all aspects of number, quantity, measurement, shape and space and children acquire mathematical skills in a practical and fun manner.

• Creative Development

This area relates to experiences of art, craft, music, dance, stories, role play and many more.

• Knowledge & Understanding of the World

This area covers investigating and beginning to understand the things, places and people around them.

Our babies enjoy planting seeds and watching them grow

• Physical Development

This area relates to improving control, coordination of the body whilst  learning to move and handle equipment correctly.

At BarBar we tailor our services to meet the individual and diverse needs of every child. We work in close liason with parents and carers and have keyworkers and buddies for every family- we have a daily exchange with paretns to tell them what their child has been doing.

By observing the children and following their interests we plan unique programmes of development for every child based on the EYFS.

BarBar hold Parent Information evenings where the Early Years Foundation Stage is explained in more detail and parents are shown how their child’s progress is monitored, extended and recorded by creating individual "Learning Journeys".
