The EYFS: Themes and Principles

Every child is a

unique child

who is constantlylearning

and can be resilient,

capable,

confident and self-

assured.

Children learn to be

strong

and independent

through

positive relationships.

Children learn and develop

well

in enabling environments, in

which their experiences

respond

to their individual needs and

there is a strong partnership

between practitioners and

parents and carers.

Children develop and learn in

different ways. The

framework

covers the education and care

of all children in early years

provision, including children

with special educational needs

and disabilities.

Language for communication

In school we focus on English.

Playing, reading stories, watching TV and talking aboutwhatever you can in your home language(s) will

develop a strong mother-tongue and aid all futurelanguage learning.
