At Kangaroo Kids we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage in order to help prepare children for when they start school. Our provision reflects the four overarching principles of the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage:

1. A Unique Child

Every child is a unique child who is constantly learning and can be resilient, capable, confident and self-assured.

2. Positive Relationships

Children learn to be strong and independent through positive relationships.

3. Learning and Development

Children develop and learn in different ways and at different rates. The framework covers the education and care of all children in early years provision including children with special educational needs and disabilities. At the nursery we provide interesting activities that are appropriate for their age and stage of development.

4. Enabling Environments

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, parents and corers.

Our curriculum is based on the seven areas of learning and development and begins with the three 'prime areas' of learning:

1 - personal, social, emotional development

2 - communication & language

3 - physical development

These elements are crucial for igniting children's curiosity and enthusiasm for learning and building their capacity to learn, form relationships and thrive. We further support children by incorporating the four 'specific areas' through which the three prime areas are strengthened and applied. The four specific areas are:

  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the World
  • Literacy
  • Expressive Arts and Design
