Supporting every child’s learning and
development in the Early Years Foundation
Stage -Harrow's guide to the early years foundation stage curriculum The purpose of this guide is to
support practitioners in implementing the aims and requirements of the Early
Years Foundation Stage (EYFS.) It can also be shared with parents, carers and
families when informing them about the requirements of the EYFS, for example by
organising a curriculum event. When using it, practitioners may choose to invite
parents, carers and families to play and work with equipment in your learning
environment and to think about their children’s learning in your setting and
at home. It is in seven sections and
comprises of some 130 pages. Six of the sections are covering the national areas
of learning, and comes in a 'customised' ring binder. Using the guide: • The guide is intended for use by
practitioners from a range of settings – childminders, pre-schools, nurseries,
independent schools, nursery classes, reception classes and out of school care
schemes. • It is a working document that practitioners
can add to, inserting their own ideas and resources as appropriate for the
children in their setting. • It is a reference document and some
information is repeated several times in different aspects of the areas of
Learning and Development, so that practitioners may refer to
one aspect at a time rather than read the whole guide. • It is inclusive, recognising and valuing all
aspects of diversity. • It starting point is the Development Matters
column of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) Practice Guidance for each area and aspect of learning and Development. • It supports practitioners in using their
observations of children to plan for the next steps in their learning, indoors
and outdoors. • It offers practical ideas to enhance the learning
environment with appropriate resources and experiences. This can be produced and 'customised' with your logo
and contact details for your authority, saving time and costs based on the work
already done by us.
