About EYFS at Humpty Dumpty Nursery

Humpty Dumpty Nursery adheres to the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum, incorporating exemplary practices from both Montessori and Reggio Emilia methodologies. We recognize the uniqueness of each child, even among siblings, and our varied curriculum embodies this principle, offering boundless opportunities for learning.

Primary Focus Areas of EYFS:

Personal, Social, and Emotional Development (PSED)

Encouraging children to develop independence, self-confidence, and the ability to establish positive relationships with both peers and adults is vital. Such development is a cornerstone for success in all other areas of learning.

Communication and Language (CL)

Our learning environment, enriched with language, provides opportunities for speaking, listening, and exchanging ideas and emotions, thus nurturing robust communication abilities.

Literacy (L)

Children cultivate a passion for reading by listening to stories and delving into a diverse selection of books. Additionally, they become familiar with the shapes and sounds of letters through songs, rhymes, and the Jolly Phonics program.

Mathematics (M)

Through structured play, children engage with numbers, shapes, space, and measurements, enhancing their grasp of counting, sorting, matching, patterns, and the concepts of shape and size.

Knowledge and Understanding of the World (KUW)

We motivate children to explore and examine materials, inquire about the workings of things, and establish a foundational understanding of science, design and technology, history, geography, and information and communication technology (ICT).

Physical Development (PD)

Our nursery offers abundant opportunities for the healthy development of children's physical abilities. We promote gross motor skills through activities such as running, climbing, jumping, hopping, skipping, and tricycle riding. Fine motor skills are nurtured with tools like play dough, paint, crayons, scissors, beads, and puzzles.

Creative Development (CD)

Creativity is crucial for effective learning. We offer children the chance to express their thoughts, ideas, and emotions through various activities such as art, music, movement, dance, imagination, and role-playing.

Humpty Dumpty Nursery is committed to providing each child with a comprehensive, stimulating, and supportive early education experience, promoting their development in a caring environment.
